I shaved it to honor your custom here as I would in any nation I preach in - I honor their customs. He canceled the revival - I was scheduled there for two weeks. I left VERY UPSET! There is no excuse for that kind of stupidity!
I have heard several UPC and UC preachers reference goatees and homosexuals and heard N A Urshan say on several occasions - "The homosexual wears the beard?" How stupid and condescending can you be.
Those guys are so out of touch with reality!
I have wore facial hair since I was 16 except for the 18 years I was in the "Apostolic" movement. I still preach for some UPC guys and some ask me NOT TO SHAVE! LOL I always do as a matter of respect to their culture.

Re: How stupid is it to...
Actually brothers with beards were in that church before Brother Kinsey was there.
I understand Elder D.L.Welch had no probelm with beards,nor did his son.

Did they have men with beards in leadership or on the platform?

Re: How stupid is it to...
Almost 80 posts...have we come to a consensus yet, that it is indeed IGNORANT to instruct that the bible teaches that a Christian brother must be clean shaven.

Re: How stupid is it to...
...think that some folks would ever admit they might be wrong. And even more stupid to think they might change!
Just sayin' (not speaking about anyone in particular).
I am sick of those who think they know it all. It's really disgusting to those of us that do!
