What is Decorum?
The appropriate rendering of a character,
action, speech, or scene. It is necessary to retain unity.
(Ref: britannica.com)
Why do we need it?
1 Cor. 12:12-26 Paul compares the body of
Christ to a human body. Each
has a specific function that is necessary to the body as whole.
The parts are different for a purpose and in their differences
they must work together. The
church is composed of many types of people from a variety of backgrounds
with a multitude of gifts and abilities.
It is easy for these differences to divide people.
That is why it is important for the choir to represent unity.
And in doing that, we must follow these simple rules in order for
our choir not to draw attention away from the church service.
We should dress as one to signify one part of the body of Christ.
