Of course the leadership would not allow saints to be part of the process. Some it comes down to leadership. It seems clear if they did this the Spirit would convict them for pushing away souls reaching out to him.
They would repent and make a policy statement they were wrong about beards and ask forgiveness. I believe YAH would bless that.

The anti-beard position was entirely a reaction to the beatnick, biker, hippie scenes. Most in leadership today are from that era, or are those whom that generation of leadership trained. Today, beards have no connection to drugged out beatnicks, bikers, or hippies, as beards and facial hair are worn by a large cross section of society now (just as they were before the 40s-50s). so I imagine it's just a matter of time and the whole facial hair issue will simply fade out.
Unless the hipsters ruin it for us all with their Twin Peaks neckbeards and plaid shirts and crummy coffee.
