MODESTY IN DRESS
Master encourages us to see each other as souls rather than as
physical bodies. It is for this reason that we should be modest in the
way we dress while at the center. Clothing which displays the physical
form can be a distraction for others. Therefore, excessively tight
clothing, bare shoulders/strapless tops, low necklines, bare midriffs,
tank tops, spaghetti straps, sheer fabrics, mini-skirts, shorts, etc.
are not allowed. Sleeveless clothing is not permitted for either men
or women; clothing must at least have short sleeves. Men must wear
pants and shirts at all times.
