Interesting Mr Moffat and thanks for your inputs.

You make a credible point there about the mere principle of modesty and uniformity but that works for just the principle and not on the application. What is important is Unity and not uniformity in my view. We can be united in our diversity.

You fear a scenario of cultural competition, note that the western suit and tie are already tokens of western culture which are sprouting on the death beds of African Culture. If Western culture can enter African churches then why can't African culture? Can we truly say we don't have modesty wear in our diverse African Cultures? This is part of what fuels a rage against a whitewashed Christianity which seems to demand a form of whiteness or westernness for Africans to be accepted into Christianity. 

I hear where you are coming from thou. Let's keep the conversation going...thanks for your thoughts!
