I remember the first time I met the late Dr. Robert Rayburn. We were in Switzerland, were I worked at L'Abri. I told him that I was planning to attend Covenant Seminary, at which he was still a professor, having retired from the Presidency.
I had very long hair and beard, a pierced ear, and a tattoo (I still have that). He never mentioned any of them and treated me well.
When I next saw him, in the classroom in St. Louis, nothing had changed. I did, however, lose the earring after a few months at Covenant. I also cut my hair (no longer much of a necessity).
This proves nothing other than the graciousness of this man whom I remember fondly as a father in the faith.
