SDA Pastor halts Wedding ceremony because the bridesmaids did not dress “SDA way”
The man of God told off the bridesmaids for not dressing the SDA way
• The no-nonsense pastor tells them he will stop the ceremony completely.
• He demanded they respect SDA rules and traditions.
A wedding was temporarily interrupted by a Pastor who refused to officiate the ceremony over bridesmaids who did not prescribe to the SDA faith.
In a video shared online, the pastor can be heard telling the bridesmaids to leave the ceremony because they are not SDA.
“Try somewhere else, not this SDA church.”
Murmurs came from the bridesmaids as he added that he was serious, “Nyinyi wote kama wewe si SDA nime wakataa, if you are not SDA nimekataa. The rest of you go inside.”
The pastor even threatened to get into his vehicle and drive off if they delayed following his directive.
“Nawatangazia kwa jina la Yesu harusi tunayofanya inaitwa harusi takatifu. Nawatangazia saa hii, and SDA church is known by its rules, can you move somewhere, fanya mahali pengine but not this church.”
He then calls on the matron to help those who are dressed ‘badly’ to be moved behind or even outside.
The bridesmaids tell him they are dressed okay, “What is the problem, we are ok,” they insist he swiftly rejects their claims.
“Kama unavaa isivyostahili try somewhere else, nawatangazia saa hii, sindikisha wengine but not this church. I have now taken charge, kama umevaa kwingine can you move somewhere else.”
Kenyans who watched the video had a lot to say concerning the video. Some of the comments are below;
Susan Catherine Keter Confusion! When the wedding was being planned, were these issues not discussed? How can rules be given at this late hour??
Luvai Gil The church belongs to God. Whoever feels like he has a right to chase other people away from the church is a mad person. Only God should
Nicolas W Kyeva I hope the wedding was his own….. If not he overstepped his mandate. A wedding is just a ceremony to celebrate the two. People who are being United in love.Where faithfuls act as witnesses. There is nothing like a church wedding. The real wedding happens between the couple in the presence of their parents. When the bride is handed over to the groom after or during the customary ceremony.
Daniel Orwasa He should have left any other pastor to officiate the ceremony. He should have advised them that people should dress well in church.During old days people used to cover the back and front and life continued.
