Dress plays an important role in Christian worship. The aim of this study is to describe the
importance of dress in the South African Christian context. particularly within the Black
Christian society. Two main ideas are covered: firstly. the emphasis on the use of unifonn
as a factor influencing worship attendance and secondly, how a uniform affects the quality
of worship.
Personal investigations into various church groups in the Eastern Cape, particularly the St
Anna Sodality, have indicated that specific uniforms are an essential sign of belonging to a
particular church. Dress or uniforms also serve as a reminder of people's commitment to
their faith. For some groups, a uniform develops a sense of identity, security and
fellowship which may have been lost through past political policies. Most importantly the
relationship between worship and dress can bring a transformative assertion of the self
before God and fellow human beings === Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology === M. Th. (Missiology) |
