I've just been researching some black-dominated churches and one of them prides themselves on a very strict code of conduct:
Code of Conduct
The following is a summary of rules, regulations and tenets of Celestial Church of Christ.
Members are forbidden to:
Commit Adultery or Fornication
Drink Alcohol, Wine and Smoke Cigarettes
Eat Pork & Crawling Animals
Merry-go-round at night
Wear transparent dress, especially for Soutana while in the Church premises
Wear Red or Black apparel, except for professional reasons
Sit male & female members side by side inside the Church
While in the Church premises, Female members are forbidden to:
Leave their heads uncovered
Paint their lips and nails
While in the Church premises, Male members are forbidden to:
Wear their hair too long
Women NEED to be Sanctified by an elder in the Church after 7th day of their monthly cycle
Spiritual Items:Soap, Water, Sponge, and a candle stick

Just wondered what people's views were on the fact that Religion is still quite strict in some areas (this church does have parishes in the UK)?
