Texas pastor bans hair weaves by members. |
There are so very many issues that Pastor Amir could choose
to address in his church that I am actually surprised he has time to worry
about the condition of his member’s hair.
He indicates that his church members are struggling financially. What programs does he have in place at
Resurrecting Faith Church to increase financial literacy? Does he have job
placement assistance or career guidance support at the church? If he is questioning the parenting choices
made by his parishioners, does he have a parenting skills class available to
address his concern?
AmericanPreachers.com quotes Pastor Amir:
“I lead a church where our members are struggling
financially. I mean really struggling. “Yet, a 26 year old mother in my church
has a $300 weave on her head. NO. I will not be quiet about this.”
As a woman, I know that there are any number reasons we may
choose to wear hair weaves… hair loss due to medication, stress or illness, convenience
due to a demanding schedule, consistency in professional appearance, to achieve
a desired look or simply because we feel like doing something different.
It’s his church, he can make the rules as he deems
appropriate. As women, and as Americans,
we have the right to choose to worship elsewhere if we don’t agree.
Don’t look for This Woman's Words on Sunday, Pastor Amir.
Question:
Do you think Pastor Amir is right to use his platform to focus on hair when there are other issues to be addressed in his community?
