The Bishop of Niger Delta West Diocese, Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel
Oko-Jaja, has said permitting couples to kiss inside the church during
their wedding service is unscriptural, unholy and should be banned.
According to Oko-Jaja, such practice of couples kissing during their
wedding service, promotes immorality and corrupts the mind of teenagers
that are in church to witness what is supposed to be a holy
solemnization.
The clergyman said this while delivering his sermon at the St Mark’s
Anglican Church, Biogbolo in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Sunday December
9th.
“The practice where couples are allowed to kiss in the church during
wedding service is unscriptural. I wish to direct clergymen and church
workers in this Diocese to guard against such unholy conducts. According
to the scriptures, the church is not supposed to serve as a place meant
to promote immorality but encourage people to uphold and practice
Christian virtues with a view to winning souls for Christ.” he said
