I'm good with that. Last time I checked Jesus and the disciples didn't wear a coat and tie!
Of course, that never worked with my dad...he replied they walked also when I wanted a car!
“My suit collection has diminished over the years as both work and church have moved to a more casual environment.”
When I attended seminary,we all had to wear suits every day to class. No facial hair.
It was funny to me that one of the seminary founders had a full beard - as Jesus did.
In my last year, they did away with the beard ban and I was the first to grow one.
Sometimes we put up barriers to our mission... and then sadly, we become attached to them at the expense of truth.
