Christian clerics, Akwa
Ibom Clergy Forum
(AICF), has expressed
worries over the issue of
indecent dressing in
some churches in the
country.
The group made
this known at a press
conference to announce
its National Prayer
Summit scheduled for
October 27 in Lagos.
The president of the AICF, Rev. Samuel Udo, said
indecent dressing constituted a moral burden to
the nation, stressing that it was one of the major
reasons for the country's backwardness. According
to him, "A church is supposed to be a holy place. It
should not be a place to commit sins. Churches
today have turned to places of abomination.
"Women now go more or less naked to the church.
Men go with earrings and other materials
associated with females. It is forbidden for a man
to put on what belongs to a woman, but now such
things have been turned to style." The clergy
therefore, urged worshippers to be righteous in
their dealing with God to avoid disaster in the
country.
Another pastor, Eyo Udo, lamented that people go
to church with whatever they like, without
necessarily considering where they are going to.
