Get rid of your goatees? No. That would be unbiblical. Somewhere in Leviticus outlaws men trimming their beards.

Which is all the more reason they should join us more spiritual-types and grow a full beard.

Keith quoted: â€œThou shalt not make for thyself a bandana to cover thine head; nor shall you make a bandana covering for thy manservant or thy maidservant. A bandana covering thou shalt not make, for I am the Lord. Thou shalt also not wear thine hair in a longish fashion. I will not tolerate a man who weareth his hair in a longish fashion. I am the Lord.â€ â€” Hesitations 3:24-25

Actually Keith, the scripture that refers to head coverings in the New Testament is:

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head (1 Corinthians 11:4 KJV).

I think Paul was addressing the use of a prayer shawl by men and not a bandana though.

If Shane Claiborne looked like this, maybe no one would gripe. Just a thought.

Does this mean that me and pastorboy have to get rid of our goatees?

If the goatee makes one emergent, I guess I am there

I doubt it’s the bandana that bothers them. It’s probably the earring. And the fact that he wears his facial hair in the same gotee/moustache style that many emergent pastors have.

I attended Cedarville, so I am at a loss as to how encouraging students to read a book prefaced by Wallis is a bad thing. I’ve had teachers at Cedarville encouraging me to read books by Nietzsche. So what?

Now, now, Nathan. I think you’re missing an important point here. Although sometimes it’s easy to confuse the two, this came from Slice, not from CR?N. I’m not aware that Slice ever claimed to do research.

So let’s be fair — no real foul committed by Slice.

Well, other than defecating on a Christian brother.
