a call to modesty in the church

Maybe an unconventional way to go about it; regardless, a good challenge to the church (especially us girls) on a somewhat sensitive issue . You have to admire that.

"There’s an inseparable link between your heart and your clothes. Your clothes say something about your attitude. If they don’t express a heart that is humble, that desires to please God, that longs to serve others, that’s modest, that exercises self-control, then change must begin in the heart."

"For modesty is humility expressed in dress. "
