So this is my conclusion then...
lets see... beards on Apostolic men wasn't wrong beard before the 60's hippie movement, but it became wrong after the 60's because hippies had beards. Hmm... ok...
And now, 4 decades later, its still wrong in many UPC churches.... because of a hippie culture of 40 years ago that doesn't exist today in any meaningful way.
Yeah...that makes a lot of sense (not).
Whatever happened to "the whole gospel to the whole world"? When the UPC is known more for its rules and standards, than for having powerful moves of God, something is very wrong.
