I feel sorry just a tiny bit just because I don't feel anyone has the right to be disrespectful to another irrespective of your status but this sort of thing is a peeve of mines and I equate it to ignorance both on your part and the other party. We seem to think Pastor can cure all of our issues and Pastors and their accomplices seem to think the same. The same Pastor you are going to for wedding advice obviously hasn't put his own house in order judging by the disrespectful manner that you described his wife's behavior. Perhaps you all should see your pastors as just a man of God and not a messiah. His name is Pastor ABCD, why should you have to call him daddy, SMH. But then again, you put yourself in that position. Has it occurred to you that whatever you are seeking from the Pastor, you and your husband can kneel in the four corners of your room and ask it of him in confidence? Just saying.

mumu, Pastor is a title so it's not disrespectful to call some1 with their title
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.

Titiluvly: Calling them "Daddy and Mummy" is not an obligation,its just a sign of respect,but the way she (your pastor's wife) addressed the issue was wrong...ThankGod it has been stopped in my church..Cos pride was "killing" some of them..

Sophyrocks: Nigerians and their way of worshipping Pastors. Chai! Una too get wahala. So calling somebody Daddy or mummy will take u to the kingdom of God ba? oooh. Emancipate yourselves from Man made fanatical slavery!!!! so there are not other ways to show respect other than this daddy mummy thing?? @Op Abeg do whatever suits u. If u aint comfortable with it, dnt force it. sad sad sad No wonder men of God these days walk around like politicians. SMH.

May God bless you .........Most Pastors and their wives this days are the Anti-christ themselves with all our churches and the millions at different congresses Nigeria is moving from good to better lest i say otherwise ,yet countries like China and India where there is no fanaticism especially Christian fanaticism are progressing in leaps and bounds.

specialguest: As I type this right now I am literally boiling with Anger. Imagine! I and my partner went to see the pastor today regarding our marriage plans and we met his absence. I decided to check the church office and behold I met his wife. The following conversation ensued between us

Me- Goodafternoon ma

Pastor's wife- Goodafternoon

Me- Ma, please is pastor around? He asked me and my fiance to see him today

Pastor's wife- which pastor?

Me- pastor abcd(i mentioned his name)

Pastor's wife- turned back stirred at me and shook her head then she said " I would have thought you were referring to someone else, how can you call my husband pastor abcd(his name) this is highly disrespectful. Bla Bla Bla Bla she went on and on about her displeasure.

Me- I am sorry ma, I summoned my fiance and we left.

Is it wrong for one to refer to his pastor as pastor abcd(his name) For christ sakes where in the bible was it written that we need to address our pastors as mummy and daddy?

By the way, the man in question would not have minded if I addressed him as pastor abcd o but his wife tongue lashed me even in his absence never to call him that again except daddy.

That alone will tell you that you are at a wrong place and should find your level.
By their action, you shall know them.

Op and all those attacking tpia should please stop smoking whatever it is they're smoking. Smokers are liable to die young.

Now to you @Op..
Of course, you and I know you aren't posting the whole truth here.. I'm quiet sure you acted rudely at some point.

There is something attached to that word - Daddy. It is no pride at all..

A Pastor is supposed to be a spiritual father, right? Then calling your Pastor Daddy only signifies a cordial relationship between a father and his son/daughter..


Personally, considering my long term relationship with my Pastor, I can't imagine myself calling him by his name - Pastor abcd. Biko, don't mind me, that was how I was brought up. I recognise my elders @home and in church. I call ALL elderly men & women in Church DADDY/MUMMY
Its not about Pastors, but elders.


So dear OP, bridle your tongue! Meanwhile, I don't patronise Kingdom antagonists. Come back and post the full story or forever keep quiet...

cbrass: From my own part its not even mandatory to call your pastors any special name but courtesy demands that you give honour to whom honor is due.

Assuming the pastor was your own father and you wish to see him what will you say??

But if the pastor was around your age and he still insists you call him dad...then something is wrong with him
However since it was his wife that complained and not him, its no issue at all cos that's how many of you ladies behave- you act and talk without deep thought

I think this daddy nd mummy thing is the result of trado-yoruba-rization of western churches.
I believe calling an elderly person daddy/mummy is a sign of respect in yoruba land.

As for why the pastors wife took it personal...
