How Kenyans Responded to Father Ndemo's Action
Vivaton Vivacx said:
“Although I am not Catholic, I support this priest. We must learn the difference between the church and the club.”
Fredie Kouko urged:
“Let this continue in our churches all over Kenya. Let it spread like wildfire. Not only women but even men who wear tight pants go through this situation. Some of these pants fit very badly. Even hairstyles that are not dignified for a godly man are not appropriate. Clothing respectful to everyone.”
Diboo The Blogger said:
“I fully support the priest. Tight dresses, short skirts, and cleavage-baring blouses are shameful.”
John Bosco Trees advised:
“He was absolutely right. It's about teaching and he's the one responsible for making sure the standards are followed. Anyone who feels hurt can take appropriate action.”
Mbedha Julius said:
“That is a wise decision, Pastor. How can you expect someone who cannot respect the temple of God, which is his body, to respect the Lord in his home? 1 Timothy 2:9; 1 Peter 3:3-5.”
Sharon Dezy replied:
“Mothers, I don't see your opinion. In any case, it is good to dress respectfully when you go to church. We should respect the house of God.”
Tonick Ojero said:
“We should dress respectfully. Our bodies are the temple of the Lord. I praise the church for good work.”
Korwa Orwa said:
“This is a very good move. We need to show respect in the Lord's house.”
