A Catholic Church in Ghana has
banned what describe as “provocative dresses” in the church by its members.
Andrew Kofi Wosersor, president of
the St. John the Baptist Church in a town called Paedu in the Central Region of
Ghana said the exposure of certain parts of the body like the breast, and
panties through the dresses worn to church prompted the decision to ban it.
Dresses that expose vital body
parts tempt some weaker members and even some priests according to him.
“It is not that the dresses are not
good, but they are not good for the church. When we stop them from putting them
on to church, at a point in time they will even stop wearing them to public
places” he said.
He attributed this to the era of
fashion, which he believes has influenced people what they see others wearing
without knowing when and where they wear them to. He described that as
“naivety”.
In an interview with Joy
News, Pastor Wosersor told Richard Kwadwo Nyarko that they church are
ready to involve parents and guardians to correct indecent dressing.
Should this attempt be adopted by
churches in Africa at large?
Let us know what you think.
