Drama In Church As Worshipers Are Sent
Home For 'indecent' Dressing
Recently, worshippers of St Francis Catholic Church in
Diani town got the shock of their lives when some of
them were turned away at the gate for indecent dressing.
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 type of clothes were banned from
church and I should change into a 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 coastaltown.
“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.
