@ OP, before you know why pastors wear suit to church, you must first know why suit is been allowed in various offices in Nigeria and the world. The reason why we wear suit to church, (1) Pastoring is a profession ordained by God (2) Pastors are not to appear tattered or rife raf (3) The way you dress, so you will be addressed. If I appear like a begger and I present myself as a pastor to you, will you listen to my message. (4) the work of pastor is to go to the whole world to preach to all manner of people. You don't expect me to dress like a farmer to embassy, they of course, they will refuse me VISA, how much more going to their country like that. |

Mrdecent:its just cultural imperialism depicting the origin of the gospel- the west- same reason lawyers wear wig and gown even in hot weather. Other professions also have suit as their main official wear. |

I think it's just a show of the african mentality that english dresses are the coporate dresses,and are the only accepted attire in the official setting. I don't think it should be necessitated for ministry as that could be a form of neo-colonialism,but it should be worn at wish. |

Mrdecent: Clerical dressing is part of the requirements of a pastor and pastoral decorum. God gave Moses instruction on how the priests should dress. Suits is western influence that has come to stay since they championed the gospel in Africa. Some churches use collar. Baptist doesn't make it compulsory but we wear suit and tie during wedding, Lords Supper and special occasion. Additionally, a pastor is a public image maker and God's representative on earth. He must dress responsibly to portray what he stands for |

jcross19: suit might be expensive, but you can't tell exactly how much the pastor bought it, but a native attire you can know exactly how much the material is sold in the market and approximate how much the cost of sewing . so you can easily tell the worth of a native attire than a suit. |

Op take it or leave it... They wear suit because being a pastor is a "white collar job" Go and check our the structure of a typical church and tell me it's not structured like other institutions The founding pastor @ the HQ is the c.e.o while the others are branch managers. Why do u think they advertise their miracles? Na marketing na. Lol Lemme not go any further. |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by debanks1(m): 4:43pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
Maybe they believe GOD cannot answer them in their native wears... they see GOD as an English Man. and native as a sack sin cloth. |

Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by Ayatullah(m): 4:49pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
firstking01: You are either a Pastor or a Tailor making suits for Pastors. King Solomon never mentioned the word church in the bible. Atheists also don't go to Churches. The truth is that reasonable people must question everything about the messanger in this era of deceits. Pastors are definitely crazy about Western cultural values than Jesus Cultural values. That is the plain truth. |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by MisterKings(m): 4:51pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
Mrdecent: I will give u two reasons 1. Native clothes are for native doctors 2. Suit is for business and every church don turn business Centre where they brain wash people and take their money in the name of God. . |

debanks1: I like that.... plus Africa don lose their identity and self worth without knowing. Our women will rather fix oyinbo weavon than keep their natural hair, christ embassy church pastors will rather perm their hair to look like pastor Chris who also copies oyinbo. Maybe na him color dey deceive am plus say he been marry oyinbo wife. Mtcheeeeww . |

Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by MisterKings(m): 5:00pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
SeeUrLife: Bros thats a different case scenario. They are obliged to wear that as a uniform. Pastors are not obliged to any certain kind of attire. |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by MamaletASO: 5:04pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
OP.. You made a wrong move here big time.. This is a useless thread that has no meaning.. Maybe you should go ahead and ask again "Why are people from Southern parts of this country wear suit or dress corporate to work WHILE the ABOKis wear Native/Jalamia with pam-Slippers to work... No be sooo... 1 Like |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by vtsouthpaw(m): 5:09pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
Simply, Mental slavery. Though some are getting out of that now. |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by Phemz(m): 5:09pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
Well its now a norm,that is part of the tradition we borrowed from the foreign countries who imposed christianity,well churches make cooperate wears compulsory not particulary suit sha, But I want ask a salient question? Why don't we wear native to the office those of you talking about mental slavery. Why does the iman wear,jalamia and the rest with turban its just tradition we borrowed from the white. In that it makes you smarter,less flashy and all |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by lookingfly: 5:37pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
The big question is,why cant a pastor or a man of God wear a jean and a tshirt to the pulpit? |
Re: Why Do Pastors Always Wear Suits On The Pulpit? by jcross19: 6:17pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
SeeUrLife:so are you telling me that suit is pastor's uniform? Lol. |
