Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by Mrdecent(m): 10:27am On Aug 28, 2016
Some churches make it a rule that you must be on suit while ministering. My question is why not in our native attire? Is there any sin in promoting our own in the house of God? Please let the pastors in the house give us insight

It is a style of dresssing that most people are comfortable with, in the sense that it does not give way for an extravagant show of luxury (meaning all those pastors who would want to show off their wealth by wearing other forms of clothing are refused that privilege

This is why king solomon said in eclesiastes that when you go to church, pay more attention to the word/preaching, than to give the sacrifice of fools....some people esp the atheist go to church to look for any slight thing they will use to critisize the church and pastors...remove your eyes from the messanger and what the pastor is wearing and fix your eyes on jesus the author and finisher of your faith...a pastor must nt always wear suit, if he choses to, then that's his choice.

the question is true. It has turn tradition in nigeria particularly that pastor "must" wear suit on every sunday for preaching that's dressing code for a nigerian pastor now if I may ask why are they rejecting our own native attires but opt for english ones ? Is it not mental slavery?.

Looks like some people like making fuss about nothing.

I agree that several pastors do wear suits while preaching, particularly on Sundays. I don't know how this came to be, but it's likely that most are just immitating others. However, wearing of suits is just a matter of choice. Though some churches may give the specification in the name of dressing formal. But I'd never seen the late Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa on suits. And there are several pastors of today that don't necessarily wear suits while preaching. The immediate former CAN president is an example and there are several others.

Maybe you should also ask why native wears are not commonly worn in places of work. I don't think you should be bothered about this.
