Women Wear Pants To Mormon Church

A couple of weeks ago, a [..] group started a page with this description, encouraging sisters to wear pants to Church last Sunday December 16th:

It received both negative and positive support. Oh, and death threats and the page had to close (I believe they opened a new one).

For the life of me, I do not understand what is the big deal. So what if sisters wear pants to Church? The Church clearly stated we are encouraged to wear our Sunday "Best" But doesn't specifically tell us what it is.

What are your thoughts about this issue? Is this again a cultural norm people are trying to challenge? Why do some people see it as an act of rebellion?

The whole negative reaction was absurd. I read people online saying those who choose to do this are going towards the road of apostasy. Really? For choosing to wear pants to Church? Ridiculous.

When you willfully rebel against the teaching of your leaders and the traditions we have as a Church, you ARE walking a very thin line and heading towards that dangerous path where there is no return (Apostasy). The leaders of our Church are inspired men by God to lead us, all that is required of us is a humble heart and obedience. There is nothing wrong with wearing pants but when we do it with a rebellious spirit or to try to "Make a point" is where we err and need to repent.

Comments: I agree, Chica, and I believe that is what many of these women are doing. I think that they are trying to change the Church from the bottom up instead of letting the Lord make any necessary changes from the top down. Whether women wear pants to Church or not may not be considered a very important issue, but it is a little bit like the camel getting his nose in the tent. It is just the beginning. If they are successful with this issue, then they will move on to another, more important issue next time. That's how these things work.

Where does the Lord say women are required to wear pants to Church? (since you are talking about the Lord making any necessary changes).

Really? Like what?

I think that it has been established that it never says that anywhere. I think that's why they are starting with this issue--because they know that they can get away with it. If they are successful with that, then they will move on to something else.

Like women holding the priesthood.

Really and not ridiculous. It's not the wearing of pants that puts one on the road to apostasy. It's the wearing of pants in support of this feminist group and their ideals which happen to run counter to LDS doctrine as feminists are won't to do.

I agree with Michael and bcspace this group is causing a big division in the Church and I believe this is the whole purpose: They want the women to hold the priesthood! And that will never happen because this Church is led by Jesus Christ and not a bunch of feminists who think they can pressure the Church to do whatever they want! Brothers and sisters I'm very upset at all these things happening and very concerned about the example we are giving to our youth about how revelations take place.
