My wife's Dad wore a mustache and pastored a church in Missouri. This was back in the forties and fifties.
Well, apparently, the "no facial hair" thing didnt become an "old landmark" until the late 60's-1970.

It was a reaction against the "hippies."
Most American men had short hair since WW2 and facial hair was not real common among Caucasians and when men started letting their hair and beards grow, because it was a "change" some ministers reacted.
Hey, I'm old enough to remember when guys got tattoos and girls wore ear rings.

I grew up in a UPC church where our pastor didn't have a problem with men having facial hair because our church founders had it. I also agree with you that short hair has never seemed to be a problem for the African American women. I can also remember (before the 70's) that women trimed their hair and little girls had bangs. I don't remember guys getting tattoos or girls wearing earrings though, you'll have to fill me in on that one. The most I remember along those lines are ladies wearing big broaches and we had one who whould get up and sing and wear her "beads".
... I don't remember guys getting tattoos or girls wearing earrings though, you'll have to fill me in on that one. ....
I didn't mean guys in the church getting tattoos or girls in the church wearing earrings, I meant that as a general statement. Years ago women ordinarily did not get tattoos and men did not generally wear earrings.
I remember back in the nineteen fifties when a friend came back from "reform school" he had an earring. He was about 17 or so. I thought it was neat. But he's the only guy I saw with an earring for many, many years.

Wow, CC1 be sure your sins will find you out. It's a small world after all. LOL
Mom, I can assure you that CC1 was poking fun at some members on this board who actually believe that women who cut their hair are in sin. He wasn't insulting you in any way.

Thanks Mike for the help. I don't want your mom or anybody's mom mad at me! I do appreciate her resolve in defending herself and her church from a perceived attack. I bet she had your back growing up.
