An Introduction to a Neglected Doctrine

On ne peut pas dire que le voile soit très populaire dans l’église. Alors pourquoi démarrer un mouvement basé sur cette doctrine si peu appréciée ? Est-ce que j’aime la controverse ? Pas du tout. Est-ce que je cherche la division ? Bien au contraire. Alors qu’est-ce qui me pousse à me lancer dans une chose pareille ? La réponse est courte : parce que c’est écrit dans la Bible. Si “toute l’Écriture est inspirée de Dieu et utile pour enseigner, pour convaincre, pour corriger, pour instruire dans la justice” (2 Tim 3:16) alors toute l’Écriture doit bénéficier du même traitement. En plus, le sujet qui nous intéresse n’apparaît pas simplement mentionné dans la Bible, non, il est argumenté et défendu. Il ne s’agit pas d’un ou deux versets obscurs, mais de 15 versets consécutifs. Nous pouvons débattre de ce que Paul voulait y dire, nous pouvons aussi débattre de la façon d’appliquer cela au 21e siècle, mais ce que nous ne devons absolument pas faire, c’est ignorer le passage.

1) Introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi! It’s Caro, the author of the modesty-French-blog “La femme modeste“. I usually describe myself as a “circus girl” as that’s what I’ve practiced since I was a little. I even used to work as a circus teacher which allowed me to travel a little bit. One highlight was teaching in Finland for a year. Today I am back “at home” where I am joyfully learning to serve my family and giving my free time for God’s things, such as promoting modesty and headcovering through my blog.

2) Where do you attend church? Tell us a little bit about it. Do others practice headcovering there?

I go to a baptist church in my town which is very evangelism-oriented. A young women who practices headcovering recently arrived in my church, just when I started to deal with the issue. Her presence really encouraged me! So today there are two veiled girls in this church. There is also another woman who always wear a hat but I don’t know if she does it as a dressing habit or if she does it because of biblical belief. Read more

1) Présente-toi à nos lecteurs

Bonjour ! C’est Caro, l’auteur du blog dédié à la modestie “La femme modeste“. J’ai l’habitude de me présenter comme « une fille du cirque » parce que je pratique les arts du cirque depuis que je suis toute petite et que j’en ai même fait mon métier. J’ai voyagé un peu en Europe et j’ai été prof de cirque pendant un an en Finlande ! Mais aujourd’hui me voilà de retour « au foyer », où j’apprend à me mettre au service de ma famille et consacre mon temps libre aux choses de Dieu, notamment au travers du blog la femme modeste, qui tente de promouvoir la modestie et la pratique du voile.

    • Why is headcovering so hard? (Truth at Home)
      “I’m not going to address challenges other people might have with headcovering, here. I’m simply going to talk about my own experiences.” Also view the companion article “Straightening.”
    • A Letter to Todd Friel About Head Coverings (Reformed Christian Theology)
      “Hey Todd, love the show. My Wretched TV membership is money well spent and my wife and I greatly profit from your teaching. It is for this reason it pains me to disagree with your comments in Episode 1562 about “head coverings” being something that is merely “cultural.””
    • Christian Woman Headcovering Tichel Tutorial (Super Radical Christian Writer Chick)

The Headcovering (Sermon)

Head Covering Sermons

Preacher: Rev. Colin Mercer | Sermon Length: 43 min | Year preached: February 2003

Rev. Colin Mercer

Rev. Colin Mercer is the senior minister of Faith Free Presbyterian Church. He and his family moved to Greenville from Northern Ireland in September, 2009. He was converted to Christ at the age of eight. He commenced attending his local Free Presbyterian Church in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, as a young teenager and soon became involved in the ministry of that congregation. He served as a Sunday School teacher and participated in Youth meetings and open air services. In 1988 he was called by God to prepare for the gospel ministry and consequently in September 1989 commenced studies in the Theological Hall of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster. On the completion of his studies he accepted a call from the Castlederg congregation and was ordained and installed on 21st January 1994. In 1999 Rev. Mercer moved to Mourne Free Presbyterian Church, and accepted the Lord’s call to Faith in May 2009.

Mr. Mercer and his wife, Heather, have two daughters, Lois is a student at Bob Jones University and Hannah attends Bob Jones Academy.

The subject of the headcovering has caused great controversy within the church of Christ. Strange as it seems, many believers accept the latter part of 1 Corinthians 11 but have grave difficulty when it comes to the opening verses. However, obedience to God is important on every matter – even on the matter of the headcovering.

    • Complementarian Exegesis and Head Coverings (Blog of a Blathering Barbarian)
      “As some of you know, I have become persuaded over the past year that the head-covering of women during worship which Paul commands in 1 Corinthians 11 was not merely a 1st century cultural standard but is still binding today. “
    • Head Covering: What it is and Why I Do It (The Biblical Family)
      “I want to display what head covering represents, which is to show that I submit to my husband as leader in our household. In this day and age, where feminism is running rampant, I want to show that I stand by my role as woman.”
    • Why I Believe Head Coverings In Worship Are For Today (The Cross Is All We Need)
      “I cover my hair when I am in a worship service. I haven’t always. I was raised in a church where older women still covered their hair, usually with a hat, but the younger women didn’t. Except for one, and she still sticks out in my memory.”
    • Best Place To Buy Christian Head Coverings (Super Radical Christian Writer Chick)
      “I’m in the market for a few basic head coverings. Since I’m new to this entire head covering shebang, I figured I’d ask the lovely ladies in my Facebook community and do some research and give you ONLY the best of the best — both online and your brick-and-mortar stores!”
    • My headcovering testimony (Part 2) –what made me decide to cover full-time (Little maiden’s journey with Jesus)
      “how it is possible, that this shy Asian woman even starts to cover full-time right now. What happened to her? What made her decide to take further steps? Well, I am going to tell you my story.”
