Why? Honestly beards are so low on the list of important things, I really don't care. That's why, when we started attending this UPC church, I shaved the beard I had been growing. I respect the Pastor and elders of this church and wanted to put myself in a position where I could help if needed. Seriously, there are far more important things on which to take a stand than a hairy face.

No, you're not "obligated." That's what the modern, "it's all about me" Christian wants to believe, but it's untrue. The only time the Bible says to go to someone is 1) if you have ought against them; 2) if they're in sin.
