Shouldn't be a sin. The usher did that just for the sake of decorum. Leaping on one foot to work is not sinful, but would you do that?

lt is more an issue of decorum. Every setting has its norms.

If you can't obey the rules in your church, go someplace else or question them.

It is for the sake of decorum and has nothing to do with the effectiveness of prayers.

HELLO SIR WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY DECORUM?.

Behaving in a manner expected in a particular setting. For example, In Yoruba, youths are expected to bow as they greet elders.

if the Op is a lady with a skimmpy skirt then it might be an issue, otherwise nigerian church goers are very superstitious, having stayed long in darkness and refusing d life of God, they use their corrupt and idolatory mind to jugde things and at times they claim it's Holy spirit. I knw them very well, if the Op skirt is not skimmpy as i have mentioned, then the user confronted Op cos he thought Op was debering the church prayer. The big question is can any power stop God from hearing or doing.

Nobody says it is unChristian.

The ushers's reason was ridiculous. Your posture cannot hinder the prayers of the faithfuls.

Crossing your leg is neither sinful nor sinless, but people may impart meanings to body language. Like I said, he might have called you to order for the sake of decorum in his understanding, but gave an unrelated reason. He expected you to have both feet on the floor, because that is the average seating position in such a setting [Now look around the church, you will see how most or all the other people are seated]. If you were feeling hot in a church, would you remove your shirt? If you were being interviewed, would you mind how you seat?
