If modesty is a part of God's plan, and a part of the universal morality that is a part of being created in his image, then the new birth will be followed by changes in those areas.

Public schools commonly have some type of dress standard as well, and government offices often have dress standards, not only for their workers, but for peopl...

I like the concept of faith based community gardens and know of one in a city close to us. Myself, I would not be concerned over what people wear to participate. And if society got to the point where women showed up topless would you do anything then? We are almost there now. Had some of these come...
