Thank you very much for this information but what is the meaning of not shaving in preparation for the meetings?

News reports from last year say that Elder Wilson suggested a "traditional" theme for the 2018 Annual Council in Battle Creek, as a way of honoring Adventist pioneers. The suggestion includes beards for men.

A current picture in the online Review shows Elder Wilson giving a sermon on June 16, and he appears to be wearing a beard.

I'm not aware of any deeper spiritual significance.

However, if you wish to look into the connection between hair and spirituality, then I would suggest starting with the Nazarite angle (Numbers 6:5).

Spiritual or not, I think Pr Wilson and others look better with whiskers, but I am biased .

Looks cool, Ed!

I have a few whiskers myself, but my little English students are divided about evenly whether I should cut them off, or keep them.

Someone else said I might look younger without them....
