Some
ladies got the shock of their lives recently when some of them were embarrassed
and turned away at the gate of the church for indecent dressing. This incidents
happened at St Francis Catholic Church in
Diani town,Kenya
.
Dressed in a black
sleeveless dress,
a tiny yellow belt and high heels, Julia Baraza, a regular worshipper, in her mid-20s was surprised by the new rule
in church that saw her miss the 8.30 mass.
“Two people, a
woman and a man told me that my types
of clothes were
banned from church and I should change into proper attire,” Baraza wrote on her Facebook page.
Baraza expressed
displeasure at the manner in which she was turned away. She wondered what could
have happened had she donned a mini skirt or a spaghetti top as is the norm in
the coastal town.
“My dress was not revealing.
Others who had
trousers were told to tie lessos. If churches treat people this way, we will
shy away from church,” she lamented.
I am surprised I
was not turned away at Likoni Church. I think I will start going there,” she
told The Nairobian.
Some worshippers
claim the priest identified only as Joseph had announced in the previous church
service that indecent dressing would not be tolerated.
Speaking to The Nairobian, the newly posted priest
declined to reveal any information regarding the announcement. He denied any knowledge of the alleged announcement.
“You say you are
from the media?
Is it me who made that announcement,”
he said.
