Just to clarify some misconceptions......I can only speak for the UPC in the 50's, in the north======
But it was not an issue if a man had facial hair; saints in the church owned TV's; we had many many women preachers/evangelists in the pulpit, and we had a fellowship circle of UPC and PAW churches that had fellowship meetings and campmeetings. It was a great experience!
Maybe these were "doctrines" in the south, east or west but not in my corner of the world.
We view things through the eyes of our own experiences and so to me these were non issues.
