Totally agree^^, but also understand the somewhat disrespectful
perception of a hat indoors, especially in a church.
Lets take fashion statement out of the conversation.
Most of you on this forum had somewhat of a normal/ supportive upbringing. This young man could have had zero guidance as a child/ young man. If you don't have a supportive family or even friends, embracing some type of religion or church may be the first step of trying to make yourself better or at least find some type of guidance.
Perhaps the lesson here- for all of us:, if what you witnessed bothered you so much to post on PP, what are you doing to make it better? Did you make the young man feel welcomed- or did he feel judged???
Did you introduce yourself after services to him?
Did you arrange to meet with him for coffee or lunch to learn his story?
What if what he had on his back were perhaps" the best clothes" he had?
We are to love all, not just the easy ones to love.
