Why I Cover (The Brown Bank) “I grew up Mennonite, but that is not why I cover my head. In fact, I did not grow up wearing a head covering. I was raised in the modern Mennonite church. We had cars, video games, movies, fashionable clothes…all the “normal” aspects of modern life.”
This Man Loves His Wife (Always Learning) A man praising his wife publicly. One of the things he mentions is this: “My wife wears a dress and a head covering to church. Maybe it is sinful pride, but I feel honored at church to have a wife that is one of the few wearing a dress and the only one wearing a head covering/scarf.”
Why I Wear a Head-Covering (Not My Own) “I am on the phone with a friend that went to a church where there was a woman teaching pastor. I asked her: “How can you choose to go to a church where a woman is teaching men when the bible clearly teaches that shouldn’t happen?” (1 tim. 2:12) Her response: ‘I’ll give you the same reason that you aren’t wearing a head covering, it’s cultural.’ Oops.”
1 Corinthians 11: Principle versus Practice (Missional Leadership) “While I may not mandate that all womenfolk attending church services to have some kind of head-covering, nevertheless, I think it’s a good practice “for the sake of the angels” as I don’t see any other alternative expression of this symbol nowadays.”

Hello everyone, today I’d like to take you behind-the-scenes to tell you a few things we’re working on at the Head Covering Movement.
Video
The first thing we’re excited to announce is that we’ll soon be branching off into video. A few months ago we purchased some film equipment, lighting and built a small studio.
We’re looking forward to recording many short videos on head covering which will be posted on Youtube and our site. At a later time we also plan to do some travelling to film testimonies and interview experts. It’s our hope that you should see the first video on our site in a month or two.

Book
The second thing we’re working on is making steps towards publishing a book on head covering. This coming Monday, I (Jeremy) will be travelling to Portland to attend the Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference. I’ll be meeting with various agents and editors to pitch the book and get professional advice on the next steps to take. A book that is widely accessible is necessary, as not everyone reads blogs. So if you could be praying for us, especially during the conference (Aug 4-7) that would be appreciated.

Do Christian women cover their head? (Loving Head Covering) “There seems to be a modern move towards the practice, particularly in conservative Reformed churches. This is probably best exemplified by the Head Covering Movement.”
Head Covering, Part 2: My fear of legalism cannot steal the joy of obedience (Separate & Together) “I know, I have felt, and I believe in the freedom and grace of the gospel of Christ, but how do I wrestle with a conviction that seems so…stringent…strict…restrictive… odd? Am I allowing my fear of legalism to steal the joy out of my obedience?”
Diversity in the church of Christ (YouTube) This guy is inspired when he sees a woman wearing a head covering. “Without constitutions and written creeds, the members of the church have the freedom to follow the scripture they read such as this young lady in front of me who worships with a head covering. Could this be her sincere effort to follow Paul’s instructions on head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11. I love the freedom to follow the Word!”
Head Covering – My Testimony (The Journey of a Lifetime) “I’ve had a few girls ask me where I stand on the issue of head covering, one of whom asked for me to share how I came to start wearing them, and my convictions on this issue.”
