Wow. Always love your common sense take on things.
His assertion that God wants us to look as good as we are ... goes back to what you have said about the obsession over"the look", in the previous posts.
These men have a 1950's snapshot of what Apostolic looks and dresses like, for all time, and have confused it with the Holiness of the Almighty.
Is Papa Gray ... hiding behind a mask, Elder Ensey?
He's the conservative ... YOU'RE THE LIBERAL!
And while we're at it ... why is it we don't find a record of Apostolic women "reminding" God of their uncut hair vows anywhere in the Wesleyan tradition?
Does this facial hair standard apply to Apostolics of other cultures as well?
