Head Coverings in Worship

Posted in Worship

Andree Seu just wrote a very brief article in "World" magazine sharing that she now wears a headcovering in worship. http://www.worldmag.com/articles/13011

The number of hat and scarf-wearers in my church has recently doubled (there are now 10 of us).  I know there are denominations in Scotland where all of the women cover their heads in worship.  Occasionally we meet women in other Presbyterian churches who wear head coverings.  I wonder if this practice is growing in other denominations as well.

 

"For man is not from woman, but woman from man.  Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.  For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."  1 Corinthians 11:8-10

 

Paul's reasoning for the command is based on the order of creation.  This is the same reason Paul uses to argue that women are not to teach men in the church.  Many modern commentators do not believe that an argument from creation has a universal application but at least they are consistent in both doing away with headcoverings and allowing women to teach.   To hold to one and not the other is terribly inconsistent.

Our OPC church in California had women that wore headcoverings. I'm in a PCA in Texas and the lone ranger here ;) Hope you're doing well!

Monday, October 8, 2007 - You are not alone

Posted by A brethren in Christ
There are countless evangelical churches all over the world who have continually obeyed the Lord through the centuries. They gather with the women joyfully having their heads covered. You are not alone. We lovingly encourage you to give glory to the loving Savior by obeying Him. We only make ourselves known by His name, nothing else.

About Me

My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry." I am a mom of seven children ages eight and under seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day! :o), Moms4Psalms
