Covering Testimony: Alison Chapman

Covering Testimony: Alison Chapman

1) Introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Alison and I come from a missionary background, growing up as a child in the Seychelles in the early 70s. I have known the Lord from an early age but perhaps with more head knowledge rather than heart. I really encountered the love of the Lord whilst training at bible college in my late 20s. That’s where the Lord radically changed me and developed within me a desire for truth and to know Him in a deeper way and to make Him known.  I have been challenged by the cost of following Jesus in everyday life and I seek to love Him wholeheartedly and somehow share the good news of Jesus. I have especially enjoyed various work opportunities overseas including time spent in Israel, a nation that the Lord has put on my heart.  I married at the age of 41, after what seemed like an arduous, sometimes painful and long wait, to a prayerful and righteous man that God had been preparing me for.  I have learned much from my husband and I have joy and appreciation in being his wife.

Covering the Web: April 12/14

Covering The Web

Shining a spotlight on the head covering discussion happening worldwide.

  • Called to Cover our Heads? A Quick Breakdown of 1 Corinthians 11 (Ramblings of a Christian MOM!!)
    “I never paid that much attention to 1 Corinthians 11 before. Like many people, I more or less skimmed through it, deeming the passage as cultural to the times and irrelevant to me…Lately, however, the topic has come up several times in Christian Mommy Facebook groups that I’m in and I felt convicted to study deeper into it. Here is what I discovered…”
  • Principle 31 – Godly Disciplines for Assemblies (YouTube)
    An official reading from the “Gospel Fellowships” audiobook. This section deals with head covering as well as other spiritual disciplines. 3 minutes long.
  • The Headcovering as a Universal Practice (A Ruby in the Rough)
    “The headcovering requirement is based on the order of creation. It has been argued that this means that the principle of male headship is permanent, but the particular application of it (i.e. headcovering) was cultural. There is no evidence in the passage for this.”
  • Should Women Wear Head Coverings….? (YouTube)
    A 14 minute video from Corinn Linkowski (teenage girl).

Shining a spotlight on the head covering discussion happening worldwide.

  • The Accidental Complementarian (Her.Meneutics / Christianity Today)
    “With this approach, many years into marriage, I—a headstrong, egalitarian woman—embraced a complementarian reading of 1 Corinthians 11:3: “But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” I sought the truth—and made an interpretive decision.”
  • Congratulations to our Pinterest Winner! (Joni and Friends)
    “Vic guessed correctly on the Pinterest photo – the picture was snapped in 1991 when I was in Moscow, Russia to help prepare for Billy Graham’s Crusade…But why the babushka? The Iron Curtain had only recently come down and many Christians still held fast to old traditions (although, wearing a head covering in church is a very biblical idea :-).”
  • How I Packed For A Weekend in Florida (Fresh Modesty)
    “Bright and early Sunday morning, we attended church at St. Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Florida. Dr. RC Sproul was preaching and it was incredible to hear him in such a pretty building. I borrowed my shoes and headcovering from the day before and threw on this…”
  • K.P. Yohannan on Head Covering. (Domestic Felicity)
    “I first heard of K.P Yohannon when my aunt gave me the book Revolution In World Missions. Not my usual kind of book, but it was from such a different (indigenous) perspective than I usually get & he gives his testimony in such an engaging style I devoured it. So I was pleased to stumble over his new little Head Coverings book.”

Head Covering Seminar @ Hannover International Bible Church

Reformation, Revival, Repentance Seminar

Should We Wear Head Coverings in Our Worship Services?

The Church is strongly encouraged to prayerfully study with all diligence 1 Corinthians 11:1-16. During these four hours of study we will look at definitions, history, and objections raised. If this command is still applicable to the 21st Century then we must obey for the right reasons. We are to set aside traditions, culture, and previous teachings as we approach God’s word. May the Almighty God who saved us by His undeserved grace lead us in the way we ought to go (Isaiah 48:17-18).

Here’s a quote from this seminar by Pastor Bob Hnat:

You have to understand…I taught womens hair was her covering. I taught it. I taught it in this church…I taught the Corinth prostitute thing. I’m guilty. And that’s why this passage and all this study has driven me to my knees, confessing to God of teaching things that did not have real historical and biblical evidence. And so it has driven me to repentance. 1) From Seminar #2 starting at 1hr 44min 29sec.
