Menfolk: Your church's standards on facial hair?

[mike]

Yes, that was nice. My own conference is similar except that we still outlaw mustaches. There's some movement in CM conferences on that issue, such as Pilgrim which recently accepted mustaches in districts where the bishop approves (so I hear, anyway).

Out of curiosity, does your church dictate anything on beard styles or length? The mustache thing I can kinda see being an issue.

No, just a ban on the mustache. Only a very few in our conference wear beards at all.

In my opinion, the imperative is faithfulness to biblical teachings about masculinity and creation principles. The argument from creation in 1 Cor. 11 that Paul makes also applies to men's facial hair. It is another thing that nature teaches us.

Do you try to eliminate them or do you keep them trimmed?

It's one of those unwritten rules designed to trap the unwary.

I keep my ear and nose hair neatly trimmed as befits a Christian appearance.

I keep them untrimmed to maintain my manly facial hair as a Christian appearance ought to look.
