Most of us wouldn't wear a bikini, a ball gown, a painter's coveralls, or a belly shirt to an office job. YMMV.

Then there wouldn't be any problem with them wearing swim trunks to school or to a wedding or to church, should the mood strike them, because they'd be perfectly decent.

i do agree.

what's allowed for school and knocking around in here certainly isn't allowable for church..you wouldn't see my child wearing her sunday best at school,either.

Yep, my mileage does vary because I wouldn't wear them to begin with....location has nothing to do with it.

If they were swimming at church or at a wedding, yes they could wear their swimming trunks to those events.

School clothes and Sunday clothes are pretty much one in the same for my boys....

It might be the neo-pagan/new-agey message in the whole "Circle of Life" philosophy. A lot of conservative Christians think that message is antithetical to Christian cosmology. I was kind of careful about when and how I introduced the film to my kids, and I am not particularly conservative. But I can sort of see the issue with bringing your kids to church and having them introduced to a non-Christian world view there. It's a little wierd.

I see; you avoid having to make any decisions by wearing the same thing all the time. No gowns to black tie occasions, no shorts when you're working out, no swimsuit in the water. Office attire at all times. With that approach, one wouldn't be too likely to understand any of these things.

What about their shirts? Do they wear the shirts in the water? Or do they go into church without them? Since what we wear, or even modesty, has nothing to do with location?
