I asked myself the same question after I left. In all honesty I could not say much to her out of respect but @least it is expected that people of God should humble themselves so the Lord will lift them up.

An elderly woman that was present there actually reminded the pastor"s wife that our former pastor that just left is usually addressed that way so the congregation are used to saying pastor abc but madam insisted it was still wrong. I had no choice than to tender a "reserved" apology

Ownar: ......my sister abeg i gv u rep for u humility nd gentleness ooo keep it up nd God would uplift u

tpia1:

Which tribe is the op?

Whatever she decides to call her pastor, or whatever she is told to call her pastor, is not my concern.

Her open and vapid attack on the body of Christ is.

She cannot call herself a Christian and at the same time lead wolves to attack fellow Christians. She might as well call herself an atheist or unbeliever and stop pretending.

tpia@:
find another church to attend if you are annoyed.

and stop generalizing, thanks.

how old is the pastor in question? In some cultures [eg yoruba], you are expected to show respect if people are 30+ years your senior.

In any case, address people the way they want to be addressed.

Reference:

Maybe it was a test of your 'marraige' credentials and I'm not sure you passed. Sometimes in life things do not appear as they seem ordnarily. Learn to be broad-minded. Doesn't cost you anything. It would have been a five minute interview. Surely you can bear brief humiliation to get life long things.

Abeniboy: The OP might be right wit her action, but the truth is @op, you r not yet broken, I mean you have not started the Christian race. If you are, you wouldnt be posting this kind of things of social media to allow people that have made up their minds that they wouldnt make heaven or people the prince of this world has blinds their eyes and sealed their hearts from the truth to be making comments against the Church of God. I will suggest next tym you keep such to urself. Thank you

tayour917i: Don't mind d wife jare..... Pride is one of those things with SOME women, what she meant actually is dat u shud be trying to call her "mummy" ...... But dats only possible when u start to "daddy" ur pastor.......... just bone her side and continue your good relationship with God through ur "Pastor abcd"

Can you throw more light on it?
