A Nigerian cleric who goes by the name Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel Oko-Jaja has revealed that kissing during a church wedding is not in the scriptures and therefore it is unholy. While speaking during a child presentation and thanksgiving service at St Mark’s Anglican Church, in Yenagoa, the Anglican Bishop explained that such an act emanated from false teachings from fake prophets and therefore must be stopped. He also added that kissing in full glare of people corrupts the mind and promotes immorality.
“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.
