Proper Dress for Bishop's Interview

[lost123]

I have an appointment with the Bishop. It isn't on a Sunday. Do I wear church dress or is it okay to go in street clothes?

Personal interview.

To counsel about personal matters.

I went for a personal interview one evening the other week. The bishop just wanted to see how I was doing. I wore casual clothes, but put on makeup and for that special touch, I wore my contacts. : )

I just want to know what is protocol.

Dress like you're going to Church. If you aren't in a position to dress as for Church, do what you would do if you had to go to Church dressed less nicely than normal: Clean up as best you can and just go. The bishop is not likely to care much what you're wearing.

Depends on how much notice I have. If possible I wear Sunday best. If I have 15 minutes to get there....well, wash my hands and face and show up. :)

1) be reverent

2) be comfortable

For a mid-week interview, I'd be unlikely to wear what I wear to Church, and more likely to wear what I wear to work.

Most of the time if its a mid week interview my bishop doesn't even wear church clothes!

But He does wear clothes

Change to clothes not cloths

I try for Sunday best as a mark of respect, but I doubt most bishops would notice or care. FWIW, a couple months ago I showed up for a TR interview in my scout uniform (had just gotten out of Scouts and didn't have time to go home and change). Wasn't a problem.

Thanks all. I had a good laugh at some of them.

That will likely continue to be the case until CaptainCurmudgeon is called as your bishop.
