APOSTLES RULE ON HEAD COVERING
The College of Apostles,
Prophets and Evangelist of The Church of
Pentecost has taken measures to resolve the
issue involving the covering of the head or
otherwise by women to worship and other
meetings of the Church.
In a communiqué released
at the end of its recent prayer meeting held
at the Pentecost Pension Guest House, Gbawe,
Accra, from January 19-21, 2010, the College
directs pastors and officers of the Church
to refrain from harassing females coming to
church for the first time with their heads
uncovered.
It also urges that female
visitors coming to church services in jeans,
slacks or pairs of trousers, Rastafarians
attending church meetings for the first
time, or families or couples wishing to sit
together during church services should all
be permitted to sit quietly “at the feet of
Jesus” to learn.
It continues that female
members who may or may not wear head
covering during church services should
neither be looked down on nor considered by
others as being 'sinful'.
The communiqué, signed by the Chairman of
the Church, Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah, adds
further that “while the purpose of these
directives is not to stop teaching of the
genuine word of God or to correct people in
righteousness, the College recognises the
present culturally-divergent nature of the
Church and its mandate to disciple people of
all nations and cultures.”

DO NOT BITE ONE ANOTHER
-- Chairman Urges Apostles, Others
The Chairman, Apostle Dr.
Opoku Onyinah, has advised Apostles,
Prophets and Evangelists of the Church
against undermining one another in the
course of their work. He said rather
than bite or devour one another by spreading
rumours about themselves, they should
investigate what they hear since such
rumours might not be true. Urging them
to be their brothers’ keepers, he noted: “If
you hear something about your brother, do
not immediately accept or spread it, (since)
it may not be true.”
