Thanks for your comments.
Btw, ...Greetings, Bint.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />Btw, I've been wearing my hair in an afro style since 1966. When I want to, I wear a gele (African headwrap) and an African dress to church.Azizihttp://www.cocojams.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-39662721076433288512011-12-03T23:56:15.160-05:002011-12-03T23:56:15.160-05:00I've heard lots of views on this issue, too. I...I've heard lots of views on this issue, too. I think it's interesting to note the sartorial trends during the period when and in the cultures where the Bible was written. Traditionally, men wore what we'd call a skirt or dress. Women wore the more pants-like garments out of necessity, because of their menstrual cycle and the need to hold in place the cloths used for absorbency.<br /><br />I agree with the female pastor on this video. I know a lot of folks who don't even own a suit or a really fancy church dress with hat and gloves. I grew up in a church where women did NOT wear pants (or shorter-than-knee-length dresses/skirts) and men were all expected to wear very conservative suits, every time they came to church. It was a burden on some people just to try to find the money to afford the kind and number of outfits they needed to worship there.<br /><br />I prefer churches that are accepting of folks, regardless of attire. Of course, I try to make sure that my clothes are neat and clean and modest. However, trying to fit a hat over my afro is just a lost cause. I try to judge what's appropriate by whether or not I'd feel comfortable talking to Jesus in what I'm wearing to church. If I feel that Jesus wouldn't have a problem with it, then I'm okay.bint alshamsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658169355503798587noreply@blogger.com
