Headcovering testimony of Sister Jessica (Little maiden’s journey with Jesus) “This person marched angrily up to me, and without even asking me how I was, or giving me any sort of polite greeting, said, “Why are you wearing that on your head? Why are you trying to be saved by works?” Struck with such a blow, I couldn’t answer right away.”
My Head Covering Haul From Five Below (Super Radical Christian Writer Chick) “I’m super excited. I got six head coverings from the cute and trendy Five Below store my daughters frequent…Here are my photos! Enjoy!”
Clothed in Christ (Bible League Trust) “What follows, then, will explore key verses in the New Testament that speak of how the Christian should appear beyond the heart, ranging from clothing and head covering to jewellery and physical appearance.”
What Has Come Over Me: Why I’m Wearing Head Covering (After “Normal” Ends) “A precious friend recently asked me what happened that I suddenly felt called so strongly to submission and head covering. My immediate response was that my marriage was at a crucial point, and something drastic needed to take place in order to ensure it survived. This is a very accurate claim.”

My name is Mindy Sue. I am a wife and a stay-at-home mom to two little boys (and another baby coming in March!). I love to sew and create many other crafts from recycled materials although most of my time these days is spent cooking, cleaning and teaching the ABC’s. I look forward to working in the vegetable garden when the weather’s nice and we hope to have livestock soon, too (fresh eggs, yum!). When I’m not pregnant [which isn’t very often:)] I like to help my husband with landscaping and home repairs and anything that will get my hands dirty and work up a good sweat.
2) Where do you attend church? Tell us a little bit about it.
My family has recently started a local Church of Christ assembly. My husband and I both have been going to Baptist churches for years but since moving to this area and having difficulty finding a good fit in a Baptist Church we decided to try a Church of Christ. Although there are a few theological differences we appreciate their exegetical teaching and their commitment to adhere to God’s word. As far as I can tell, I am the only one who wears a head covering. Read more

Quote taken from the second edition which can be read here.
We spend a lot of time talking about the symbol of headcovering on this site. Most of our time is focused on the symbol itself because that’s the part that’s hotly debated. Having said that, we’d be failing to do our job if we promoted a symbol and never spent time making sure that the meaning behind it was clear. In our article “Creation Order” we laid our a very brief summary of biblical gender roles which is called Complementarianism. Today I have a two-part sermon for you that greatly expands on this topic. It’s called Biblical Manhood and Womanhood by David Platt. David is an excellent teacher of the Word and in this sermon he explains (largely from Genesis 1-3) how men and women were created to function in relation to one-another.
I hope you will take the time to listen to or watch these sermons. If we want to see the symbol of headcovering restored, we need to make sure we’re all on the same page as to it’s meaning. So let’s listen and learn together…

My head covering testimony (Little maiden’s journey with Jesus) “My head covering journey is part of the whole recovering process which has started ever since Jesus came into my life. I was born in a Buddhist/Shintoist family in southern part of Japan.”
Head Coverings Uncovered! (ModestGeneration910) “Based on the above research, study, and prayer over the course of a year God has convicted me strongly that I should cover my head when praying or prophesying. For me, most importantly I want to testify to the angels about God in this way.”
Headcoverings // Update (Modest Modern Maidens) “my reason for this post is…to give you an update on how I’ve been doing with my headcovering. As you are probably already aware of by now, I have somewhat recently learned about the importance of headcovering in Scripture and have been striving to put it into practice myself.”
Reviving a Neglected Ordinance: The Meaning of the Headcovering (Truth at Home) “If godly women want to initiate a strong change for the better after the damage radical feminism has done to our culture, taking the Bible seriously by wearing a headcovering is a good place to start.”

What was Paul referring to in 1 Corinthians 11 when he said: “Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head”? Was he referring to a cloth veil? Was he talking about long hair? Was this just a local custom that applied only to the Corinthians? Were women who didn’t wear veils mistaken to be prostitutes? David Bercot takes his readers to the early Christian writings to get the facts.
Great introduction to Christian head covering with a special focus on what the early church believed about the practice. This is an audio lecture posted on YouTube. Running time is 1 hour and 7min.
