Dave Bernard addresses beards

I heard from a reliable source yesterday that Br. Bernard addressed the issue of facial hair on men at a recent symposium.

I don't have a direct quote. Only that he said we (the UPCI) have been all wrong on the issue and it needs to to stop.

In our ranks, isn't this like the pope saying, it's OK now?

If this is true ... he can give up any aspirations of being the next Supt ... especially if the UC's win out in Sept.

You mean it's taken him all these years to come to THAT conclusion?

Wow......that certainly gives me a warm fuzzy feeling towards his scholarship!

He is right if this was said. I personally think that beards are gross looking. However, that is a far cry from having anything to do with right or wrong.

Jesus was gross looking. Wow.

(tongue in cheek)

I've had a beard now (well a goatee and mustache) now for a couple months.

I grew it in memeory of all the men we have run off with our hair-itcal teaching of no facial allowed on Christins.
