‘Any male pastor wearing earrings can’t see this pulpit’ – Adefarasin

Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin, has declared that ministers who wear earrings would not be allowed to preach from his church’s pulpit or minister at the annual Christian music concert, The Experience.

Adefarasin made the remarks while expressing his position on male ministers wearing earrings, questioning the practice and insisting that it would not be accepted in his church’s ministry.

“Why will a man be wearing earrings?” he asked, as reported by Church Gist, a popular Facebook platform projecting Christianity.

The cleric went further to state that any pastor who wears earrings would not be permitted to use the pulpit, while ministers who adorn themselves with earrings would be excluded from ministering at The Experience.

“Any pastor wearing earrings can’t see this pulpit. Any minister wearing earrings will not minister at The Experience,” Adefarasin declared.

His comments underline the Bible’s position on appearance for Christian minister and standards expected of ministers serving at his church and the annual gospel music gathering.

The remarks place the issue of male ministers wearing earrings within the broader conversation about appearance, Christian leadership and standards of conduct in the church.
