He's said it several times.
I never have understood his reasoning.
I mean, you don't see a lot of bearded ladies.
Except at the circus.
And family reunions.

You are correct. For once! LOL!!!
UPC missionaries being clean shaven has caused an uphill battle for them in Latin America many times.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Would This Man be Welcome to Preach at Confere
So in essence this is another post about facial hair??????????? I mean, you could have gotten my pastor's face and put it up there and asked the same question. Matter of fact you could get ME up there and ask the same question. Dont start this facial hair junk again. Or is it because he is black. Yall betta stop that! European decendants are not the only ones going to heaven. I just dont get it!

The point is, he would never be allowed to preach one of our General Conferences because he has facial hair.
It has nothing to do with him being black.
Sheesh.

Mark, what does facial hair have to do with a black man's culture and manhood? Because no black man that I know think it does. And I am assuming this Dist. Supt. is white.
