The senior pastor at Resurrecting
Faith Church in Waco, Texas has advised his female congregation not to wear
weaves to church. 39 year old Pastor A.J. Aamir said he grew wary of looking
out over his congregation and seeing a sea of hair weaves. Pastor Aamir feels
women wearing weaves presents a false image of themselves and are associated
with women who have low self-esteem.
“Our black women are getting weaves
trying to be something and someone they are not. Be real with yourself is all
I’m saying,” Pastor A.J. Aamir told AmericaPreachers.com.
He said he “highly disapproves” of
women wearing weave in his church, where the average age of the congregation is
22. Meaning most female members wear weaves.
“Long hair don’t care. What kind of
mess is that? I don’t want my members so focused on what’s on their heads and
not in their heads. 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.”
What’s Your
thoughts on this??.
