Reverend sister responds after receiving heat for wearing trousers in birthday photo

A reverend sister has reacted after she received heat for posing in trousers in her birthday photo.

Reverend sisters are known to wear conservative uniforms that do not include trousers.

So, when Rev. Sr. Gina King shared her birthday photos, they went viral because she wore trousers.

Reacting now to the uproar, the sister explained that she is also a medical doctor and what she wore in her birthday photos is known as medical scrubs.

She wrote on Facebook: “Dear friends,

“I would like to address something that many people observed and commented on regarding my birthday picture, especially about me wearing trousers. The outfit I wore is called a MEDICAL SCRUB, and it is the standard uniform required for healthcare practitioners.

“As a consecrated person, my consecration does not stop me from carrying out my duties as a healthcare worker. Wearing a scrub is not fashion. It is part of my professional attire for hygiene, safety, and proper medical service. In the hospital, we are required to dress in a way that allows for free movement, proper coverage, comfort, and safety when attending to patients.

“As Sisters, we serve God in different capacities: some through teaching, some through administration, some through charity work, and some through healthcare services. My calling at this moment is through healthcare, and my uniform helps me fulfil that responsibility responsibly.

“In any case, as a Secular (the institute I belong), I am expected to dress modestly and responsibly, just like any sane human would do.

“So please, let us focus on the heart of service rather than the external attire. God bless you all for your understanding.”
