The
founder
of
Grace
Mountain
Ministries,
Pastor
Elvis
Agyemang,
has
sparked
discussion
with
a
provocative
statement
on
partnerships.
He
recently
gave
a
sermon
in
which
he
presented
an
unusual
viewpoint
on
dating.
Pastor
Agyemang
says
that
if
a
relationship
isn’t
yet
at
the
stage
of
courtship,
then
having
numerous
partners
or
girlfriends
is
appropriate.
He
went
on
to
say
that
before
committing
really,
dating
a
few
people
enables
people
to
consider
their
options
and
discover
their
preferences.
Pastor
Agyemang
underlined
that
a
lot
of
individuals
get
into
relationships
before
getting
to
know
someone
completely,
which
frequently
results
in
heartache.
Having
multiple
partners
before
courtship,
in
his
opinion,
can
help
one
make
the
appropriate
decision.
But
he
made
it
clear
that
once
a
relationship
enters
the
wooing
stage,
which
is
generally
seen
as
a
prelude
to
marriage,
the
commitment
becomes
exclusive.
Pastor
Agyemang
forewarned
that
it
would
be
seen
as
improper
and
dishonourable
to
begin
courtship
while
still
dating
other
people.
His
comments
have
generated
controversy.
While
some
concur
that
it’s
necessary
to
date
broadly
to
avoid
settling,
others
think
that
loyalty
should
always
come
first,
even
in
casual
relationships.
Social
media
users
have
responded
to
this
topic
in
a
variety
of
ways,
offering
their
perspectives
on
commitment
and
relationships.
