I don't know their official rules, or if it's considered "offensive", but I read somewhere that most Orthodox churches (especially overseas, not necessarily here in the US) are pretty conservative when it comes to standards of dress. It's actually kind of interesting that Western society takes such a casual approach to certain body parts being exposed, where other parts of the world find it incredibly offensive, or at least frown on it. Especially considering our own history as recently as a century or two ago, where we had much the same cultural taboos that were very similar (Scots excluded, of course).
