I began thinking about ties, and where did they come from? Why do we wear them? I remember reading somewhere that in American history suit and ties originally were discouraged from being worn in the church. The reason was that only wealthy people could afford suit and ties, and it showed a subtle discrimination against the people who couldn't afford them - so in churches they discouraged people from wearing suit and ties originally. Now in some churches, the pastors and leaders wear suits and ties and it seen as not being respectable if you don't dress up.
