Kissing in church during wedding is a sin ― Nigerian Bishop Speaks

Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel Oko-Jaja, the Bishop of Niger Delta

West Diocese, has said allowing couples to kiss in the

church during their wedding service is unscriptural, unholy.

.

He said this while delivering a sermon at St Mark’s

Anglican Church, Biogbolo, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, adding

that such practice promotes immorality and corrupt the

mind of teenagers that are in church to witness the

practice. .

He explained that the act of letting the groom kiss the

bride in the full glare of both the young and old persons

gathered in the church to witness what is expected to be

holy solemnisation of a wedding between a man and

woman emanated from the teachings of false prophets. .

.

“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 added.
