Puritan Board Freshman
Great thread. I haven't seen this argument mentioned here, thankfully (although the interpretation of the parable in Will's post #64 above comes mightily close), but have heard it before from both Protestant ministers and Roman Catholic priests, and so will bring it up.
I think that the very term itself, "Sunday Best," is almost completely out of ecclesiological verbage today, simply because so many churches today want to promote and advertise themselves as "come as you are," "casual atmosphere," etc. Has anyone seen a church promote or advertise themselves as, "come to worship God reverentially," or "holy atmosphere?"
Is the way we dress reflective, either subtly or more poignantly, of our worship?
