Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Has anyone read Steve Strang's editorial in the March issue of Charisma? Interesting piece...

"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."

It doesn't SAY anything. 
However, it READS thus: the failure of his own pastor, even calls him by name.
SS then writes about a few principles churches should keep in mind in hopes of preventing these things from happening...my words...not his.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I talked to a current member of the church last week. He said they've had only the one candidate, KB, to preach a few Sundays ago, they have not had any others. One of the original three Board members is no longer a Board member, stepping down. They do now have a 7-9 member Board, he wasn't sure, but he was certain that it was larger than the original three. Also there is a pastoral search committee that contains some Board members and some others. It looks like they've restructured their leadership for the better with more accountability and more shared responsibility by trusted members of the church. Best wishes to this church and it's future.

Yes, it's a shame there's no one like you there to tell them about the evil christmas tree and the redemptive power of a woman's hair length.
It's important to keep the main things the main things you know.

For the record, I do not believe SE believe in magic hair. Uncut, yes, but not that it has talisman like powers.

If hair length determines redemption there there's power in the hair.
Modify it a little and it could remind me of an old song I heard so much in Church while growing up...
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the hair, pow’r in the hair;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the hair.
