'drag his feet?' is the definition.
'procrastinate' can be an answer for 'drag' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'his feet?' bit.

'foreign pastor certain' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates an anagram (foreign order of the letters).
'pastor'+'certain'='pastorcertain'
'pastorcertain' is an anagram of 'PROCRASTINATE'.

'to' acts as a link.
