The study used the first 100 attendees as samples in five different churches on Sundays for the analysis totaling 500 samples. The research design is exploratory and descriptive while both qualitative and quantitative research methods are used in gathering and formulating the data. The study deals with the comparative occurrence of Ankara, lace and other fabrics in churches especially during Sunday services. Therefore the study aims at documenting the analysis of the fabrics that are predominantly used for Sunday services. There had been dearth of literatures on textile art tradition especially Ankara, lace and other fabrics which this study is about to proffer solution to. Based on these results, this article explores the possible reasons why liturgy can have a strong influence in forming attitudes and shaping behavior and why some liturgical styles may be more influential than others.Many Christians put on decent or a particular dress when attending churches especially on Sunday worship services. Participation in certain types of worship was predictive, either positively or negatively, for giving to animal welfare charities. Statistically significant correlations were found between the inclusion (or in this case noninclusion) of animal welfare in church worship, private prayer, and related charitable giving. This article will report on the findings of a pilot study that explored the relationship between the style and content of Christian worship and behavior in related ethical areas and will focus on those results relating specifically to animal welfare. The psychological theory of reasoned action/planned behavior provides a model that can help explain how these values are translated into action. It is possible that the behavior and activities of individual Christians reflect those values most strongly and frequently expressed in Christian liturgy and worship, which may be more limited than what is present in Scripture or the wider tradition. The result is that Christians can have mixed attitudes toward animals, and comparatively few Christians actively work toward improving animal welfare. Both the Scriptures and the traditions of the Christian faith can be seen to promote animal welfare and, paradoxically, also to promote the idea of nonhuman animals existing only for human use.
