D. Performance of Marriage Ceremonies
One who has been recorded as a minister of the gospel has all the rights and responsibilities usually pertaining thereto, including the performing of wedding ceremonies. The minister should exercise discretion and give adequate counsel for this important event. A wedding should not be entered into lightly or without proper regard, and this includes the involvement of the pastor. A wedding is a legal procedure, regulated by civil law. The pastor must strictly observe all demands of such law.
