Bring Back the Beard
This blog is devoted to bringing beards back to Mormonism.
About Us:
For years, Brigham Young University and the LDS Church have banned beards. BYU students who grow beards may not take tests, or attend classes. LDS men who grow beards may not work in LDS temples or be Bishops. LDS men who grow beards may not be employed by the church. LDS missionaries who grow a beard will be sent home.
The policy has never been explained. Yet, many of the most revered figures in Mormonism are bearded. Brigham Young, Jesus Christ, and many others are celebrated and depicted with full beard.
It is time to let our voices be heard. Bring back the beard!

Happy Sunday
"The worst sinners, according to Jesus, are not the harlots and publicans, but the religious leaders with their insistence on proper dress and grooming, their careful observance of all the rules, their precious concern for status symbols, their strict legality, their pious patriotism... the haircut becomes the test of virtue in a world where Satan deceives and rules by appearances."

Moustaches???
BYU students cannot have beards. They can, however, have a mustache. How does that make sense?
Here is head of the history department, Neil York, and his fabulous mustache.
He will see this shortly, as he is the type of man who likes to google himself. Would love to hear from you Dr. York!
