It is a Giant Leap backwards. I know kissing is has more European ancestry but it is not a sin. The Church should fight against Homosexuality that has engulfed the World. Is kissing not a form of showing appreciation and love to others? Let someone answer me. If the Officiating Pastor officially declares a man and woman as MARRIED, what prevents them from KISSING EACH OTHER TO SHOW APPRECIATION? I understand that KISSING A MAN AND WOMAN IN PUBLIC IS UNGHANAIAN . But kissing in public is not a sin? Did the Disciples of Jesus not complain about Mary Magdalene as the Disciple that Jesus kissed very often? If Jesus kissed Mary Magdalene very often in public, then there is nothing wrong with kissing a Bride or Bridegroom at the Altar. Does the Church want people to be HOLIER THAN THOU? I need some answers for people to say kissing at the Altar after being declared Married people is wrong.
If I may ask? Can married people kiss in public? I need an answer..

This is not on the list of issues that need addressing in the Dark Continent. When you have travelled widely or lived among enlightened people, you wonder if the same God created the inherently stupid black man. Look around you, go on the web to see how our men and women, children and elderly are still fooling in 2026. Human Beings who dwell in mud huts without proper toilets spend millions of cedis to construct graveyard mansions. Human Beings have time to trade insults as Team Akosua Serwah and Team Odo Broni. We beg for aid but waste billions annually on funerals. Our women now advertise boldly offering all forms of sexual activities online, some saying things that should not be said. Everybody has suddenly become an advisor on Facebook and TikTok when they cannot advise themselves first. Idiots have discovered Social Media so fooling has been made simple. The Church should rather address the cancers in our society and leave married couples alone. Are the gay and lesbian Church Elders offended by the kissing?

Massa, everything okay with you? What has a directive concerning kissing at weddings got to do with the problems problems such as people living in mud houses without proper toilet facilities and people insulting one another over inheritance issues? Are saying that until every Ghanaian gets good accommodation with proper toilet facilities, the Church has no business issuing such directives? Eeii, you get problem oo! Should the Church or even the govt stitch up the lips of the followers of Serwah and Odo Broni? Or should their followers be arrested?

And those so-called civilized countries you visited in your global tours, didn't you see homeless people? Mud houses koraaa alabraka. What about drug addicts? Didn't you you see people promoting lunatic ideologies and racism?

If you want to brag that you've travelled several countries , just go ahead and brag and stop writing such gibberish on social media platforms. You don't have to criticize (by force) every thing that happens in Ghana. Perhaps, your "inherent stupidity" as a black man is on display here.

Can you go ahead and read the Gospel according to Philip? You can find it there. Don’t you believe that there are other Gospels that have not been included in our regular Bible? I don’t mean any harm or disrespect to your beliefs and that of other Christians but not everything Jesus did have been written in the Bible that most Christians believe in.
Can you believe that the Books of Ruth and Esther were originally not included in the Bible that we normally use? Why? Because they were written by WOMEN. You can find out when the Books of Ruth and Esther were made part of the Bible. I very much respect your beliefs but you can broaden your scope by reading the Gnostic and Ethiopian Bible and find out the many Books that were excluded from the Bible and why. Who gave the authorization for the exclusion of some Books from the Bible? Read the Ethiopian Bible and The Council of Laodecia and you will be surprised.
Enoch is revered very much in the Bible as one who never died or see death but The Book of Enoch has been excluded from the Bible but included in the Ethiopian Bible. Have you asked why it was excluded from our Bible and who authorized its exclusion?
Research, find out and give us more information about what you found.

In most cases, the couple will perform the traditional marriage in the home before they come to the church. If one performs the traditional marriage, is the woman not the wife of the man and as such can't they kiss as husband and wife. What is done in the church is not the marriage but a blessing of a marriage which has been done in the home. By the way, what is the biblical basis of the ban? Is there anything in the bible that bans marriage people kissing? Those Pastors and Apostles, do they kiss their wives at home? What a double standard. What the church should ban is not kissing but corrupt and immoral Pastors that are destroying the work of God.

@Osonoba. What you call "traditional marriage" is marriage but it is customary marriage. The marriage ceremony performed in many churches in Ghana involves blessing the marriage but is also ordinance marriage since many of the churches are licensed to conduct ordinance marriage.

If you kiss your wife (whether customary or ordinance marriage) at home, why do same in the Church? I throw your question back at you. What is the Biblical basis for kissing at weddings? This is human tradition. And the Church reviews some of these traditions from time to time. So no wahala. The reasons for the directive are stated in report.

Kissing in Public: Navigating Social Boundaries and Institutional Policy

Public displays of affection (PDA), particularly kissing, occupy a complicated space in social etiquette. While often viewed as a spontaneous expression of intimacy, such displays frequently ignite debate regarding where personal freedom ends and communal respect begins. When these moments occur in public spheres, they can create significant discomfort for onlookers, leading some organizations—such as The Apostolic Church-Ghana—to implement strict policies regarding this behavior.

The Impact on Onlookers: Why PDA Can Be Problematic
The discomfort often reported by onlookers when witnessing intense public displays of affection stems from a variety of social and psychological factors:

1. Invasion of Personal Space: Many onlookers perceive intimate kissing as an aggressive intrusion into the "shared" environment. In confined settings like public transport or small waiting areas, this can make others feel trapped or like unwilling voyeurs of a private moment.

2. Cultural and Generational Expectations: Public spaces are governed by implicit social contracts. In many cultures, particularly in more conservative or traditional societies, modesty and discretion are highly valued. When behavior deviates sharply from these standards, it can cause genuine distress or a sense of moral dissonance for those who hold traditional views.

3. Concerns Regarding Children: Perhaps the most frequently cited concern is the presence of children. Many parents feel that intense PDA exposes children to mature intimacy before they are emotionally or developmentally prepared to process it. This often forces parents into the uncomfortable position of having to address, ignore, or redirect their children’s attention.

4. Atmospheric Disruption: Certain environments, such as houses of worship, libraries, or public parks, rely on a sense of decorum or tranquility. Intimate behavior can be seen as a distraction that degrades the specific intended atmosphere of these shared spaces.
Institutional Perspective: The Apostolic Church-Ghana’s Stance
The debate over public intimacy is not limited to secular spaces. Religious institutions, which often emphasize holiness and communal order, have also navigated this issue, most notably within The Apostolic Church-Ghana.

The Apostolic Church-Ghana has historically maintained a policy discouraging or explicitly banning kissing during marriage ceremonies. This decision is rooted in several theological and social objectives:
1. Maintaining Solemnity and Holiness: The wedding ceremony is viewed by the church as a sacred, holy covenant before God rather than a social party. Church leadership often emphasizes that the focus should remain on the spiritual significance of the union, rather than on romantic or physical displays.
2. Cultural Sensitivity: As an institution deeply embedded in Ghanaian society, the church reflects local cultural values that prioritize modesty. By restricting public displays of affection, the church aims to ensure that the ceremony remains accessible and comfortable for all attendees, including older generations and children, without risking offense to traditional norms.
3. Modeling Conduct: By placing boundaries on behavior during the wedding, the church intends to set a precedent for the couple's future life together, encouraging them to view their relationship through a lens of respect, self-control, and dignity—values the institution seeks to uphold in the broader community.
Balancing Freedom and Respect
The tension surrounding public kissing ultimately highlights a struggle between individual expression and collective consideration. While many couples see PDA as a harmless, joyful act, the reactions of onlookers remind us that we inhabit shared spaces.
For organizations, policies like those held by The Apostolic Church-Ghana serve as a mechanism to preserve the decorum of their environment, prioritizing collective comfort and institutional values over individual impulse. For the public at large, the issue remains a reminder that discretion is often a key component of being a considerate member of a community.
