Army allows Sikh to keep beard, turban, uncut hair

The U.S Army has granted a member of a religious minority permission to keep his turban, beard and uncut hair while he serves in the military, the Pentagon and a group representing him said.

Capt. Kamaljit Singh Kalsi, a doctor, is a Sikh, a faith that calls on its adherents not to shave or cut their hair.

Kalsi filed a request in the spring for an accommodation to follow the principles of his religion. This month the Army granted his request, the Sikh Coalition told CNN. The Pentagon public affairs office later confirmed that Kalsi would be allowed to keep his turban, beard and uncut hair.

Christian Care Medical Sharing

Medi-Share is Christian Healthcare Sharing.

It’s a member-based program where members share in each other’s healthcare costs.

Each month, Medi-Share matches up member’s monthly share amounts with other member’s eligible medical needs and facilitates the direct sharing of those costs between them. It’s a modern-day version of what the church started back in the book of Acts.

As a Medi-Share® member, you’ll receive a monthly notice indicating the amount of your share. Access the secure member website to determine which members you are sharing with each month so you can pray for them and send a note of encouragement. It is common for members facing medical needs to receive many supportive messages from other members!
