The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has issued a directive to all pastors in charge of Regions and Provinces in a memo dated 15th May, 2018, that it will no longer tolerate Groom's and their Groom's men wearing Taliban beards, and other practices which do not extol the doctrinal values of the Church during wedding programmes.
The Memo reads as follows:
The Mission Authority has received reports to the effect that certain loose practices have been adapted during the conduct of weddings in the church, and hereby wish to direct that forthwith :
a. Every Worker or Department that will officiate during any wedding programme should appear strictly in formal outfits, as it is expected during other services or programmes of the Church, most especially the Officiating Ministers, the Choir and the Ushers.
b. Ministers who have the responsibility of assessing the gown of the bride, must also ensure that the outfits of the Bride’s maids are checked to ensure that the standards of the Church are not compromised.
c. Prior to the wedding programme, the groom and his groom’s men must be assessed to ensure that they are not wearing Taliban beards, which is against the doctrines of the Church.
All ministers should be guided by these directives, especially in Parishes of the Mission that are licensed to conduct weddings
