I'm okay with abiding by it i always have, BUT i'm just curious, what is your Pastoral reason for it ?? I've been told it looks like the world, like hippies, new agers etc. , Pride (which comes in so many ways). I've also been told it looks unkept. however, If there are people in your audience, who cares if they are unkept or not? a lot of people come frumpy, clothes haven't been ironed, shoes are diryt and unshined,etc.

Thad did you see the photo I posted?

It is from the September 1936 SFO paper.

The man in the Derby was Mayor of SFO- the photo was in the Chronicle story this weekend about The Golden Gate Bridge. I have always heard that those in the 30's all had beards, and that we are out of touch. This stood out to me when I read it Sunday.

We are not out of touch.

Not that I would not give up shaving in a New York Minute either. I hate the task.
