A Ghanaian preacher has sternly warned members of his church against marrying individuals who are not members of his church.

In a video, Pastor Andrews Ewoo of the Seventh-day Adventist Church justified his comment by claiming that such a move would likely compromise his church's beliefs and doctrine.

The issue of interfaith or interdenominational marriages is a sensitive topic in many religious communities.

While some view such unions as an opportunity for mutual understanding and growth, others see them as potential sources of conflict and compromise in deeply held beliefs.
