<< But, surely, you wouldn't think it ever appropriate to
 preach in another's church without a suit and tie?>>

Me:
Of course it is appropriate. The last time I preached in another's church
without a suit and tie, I wore a clergy (tab-collar) shirt, and a minister's
robe.

You:
 << Our pastor does take off his suit jacket
 from time to time while preaching, but I have never yet seen him take off 
 his tie, no matter how hot it gets on the platform.>>

Me:

I remember a few years back, when the air conditioning had failed, and
members of the United States Congress were not allowed to remove their *suit
jackets*, because it was against long-standing tradition. They really stuck
to their *tradition*, no matter how hot it got.

You:

  <<That's just my Pastor, >>

I believe that this is precisely the point that Bro. Tim has been trying to
make. I agree with him; this is *just your Pastor*.
