If by "color" you are referring to African-Americans....as an African-American I find the term "color" to be offensive. Yet, in any case; the comment is not "construed differently". People of all ethnicities make statements that are offensive, even at times against those of the same ethnicity.

Somehow this thread has taken a sad turn...
But I must say, it's hard as a "white" person to know exactly what to say these days and be politically correct...
I thought Dan saying "persons of color" was being politically correct, I'm sure that's all he was trying to do.
You have to see it from the other side of the coin... I don't have a racist bone in my body and yet I would use the term "black person or colored person" without thinking anything of it.
That said.. Praise Hymn.. I think Thad is right, the facial hair issue isn't like it used to be, although I don't know of any of our licenced preachers who don't stay clean shaven... traditions don't change over night. I personally like a clean shaven preacher... something about it. Goatee's.. well... I'll just leave my personal opinion in between my ears for now.
Our ministers don't wear robes though...
Licenced UPC preachers are also asked not to have a television in their homes... another thing that may change since now they can advertise on them. (someone correct me if I'm wrong and that rule HAS changed already)
Many UPC saints have tv's in their home these days, like you say, hopefully they are all letting the Holy Ghost tell them what they can and can't watch.
So in all your questions, do you mind if I ask you one? Why do you wear robes?
