    • History of the Anabaptist Head Covering (Another Radical Reformation)
      “Wearing the head covering for praying women is a good thing; but the elevation of it, the extra commandments we’ve added, and the idolatry we’ve been allowing, needs to be repented of. “
    • Why I Love To Wear A Head Covering (Bruderhof)
      “I’ve lost track of how many times my clothing and head covering have given me opportunities to tell others about the reason for the hope that I have, to witness to just how much I love Jesus. That’s one of the blessings of dressing differently.”
    • Barber refuses to cut transgender Army veteran’s hair, citing religious views (The Washington Post)
      “Oliver asked for the same cut. Yet the owner of the barbershop turned Oliver away..he told CBS News in Los Angeles that his religion forbids cutting women’s hair. “The Bible teaches us that a woman’s hair is given to her for her glory, and I would not want to take away any of her glory from her.”
    • Tichel Tying on a Budget (Radical Christian Woman)
      “Head Covering on a budget? Love Wrapunzel but can’t afford a gripper or volumizer? Here are some workarounds to tichel tying on a budget.”
    • The Irrationality of Ralph Woodrow’s View of Christian Head Covering (Reformed Christian Theology)
      “Never mind that Chrysostom, Tertullian and other men who actually read Koine Greek fluently understood that the Apostle Paul was commanding women to cover their heads, and men to uncover theirs, during praying and prophesying. We have evangelists such as Ralph Woodrow telling us that everyone for 1900 years had it all wrong.”

    • Head Covering in Real Life (Radical Christian Woman)
      “I’ve asked some of the wonderful ladies in my head covering group to share their photos of everyday head covering in real life situations. I appreciate these ladies letting me use their
      photos. Pictures like the ones below are a constant encouragement to my head covering life.”
    • Faith in the Head Covering (Another Radical Reformation)
      “I believe God wants women to cover their heads when praying or prophesying and men to uncover their heads while praying or prophesying, but I don’t think He ever intended for it
      to be elevated to the level that we [anabaptists] have turned it into.”
    • A day in the life… to cover or not to cover (The Creation Order Mandate)
      “I have been covering since February 2015, fast forward to October. I can liken my experience to a roller coaster ride. But, most of the “dips” were built by my own two hands because I
      didn’t trust my judgment about the passage, didn’t enjoy being “different”, and believed everyone was against me about it.”
    • God’s Glory Alone is to be Seen in the Public Worship Service (A Ruby in the Rough)
      “The reason he “ought not to have his head covered” is that he “is the image and glory of God.” It follows that anything that brings glory to anything or anybody other than to God
      ought to be covered!”
    • Store (Radical Christian Woman) NO LONGER FOR SALE DUE TO PRINTING ISSUE

    • Case for Head Coverings: Part 1 – The Order of Creation (Living Transformed)
      “Women bring honor to the male authority in their life and ultimately to the Lord by following the instructions given by God.  Don’t abandon these principles, for it brings dishonor to your head as well as to the authorities in your life…and more importantly, it is a direct disobedience to the Lord.”
    • A Smart Man’s View of Headcovering (Truth at Home)
      “I labeled this post “A Smart Man’s View of Headcovering” because first of all, his analysis does seem to be very biblical and logical; and secondly, because he is well-educated academically, which gives his opinions even more force “

    • Is Headcovering Divisive? (Truth at Home)
      “Headcovering, though it can be divisive, doesn’t have to be. Among mature Christians, it can be a wonderful, beautiful opportunity to encourage each other in our walk with God. Those who have already started to cover, or who have been covering now for awhile, can testify to the fact that headcovering has so many benefits in the Christian woman’s life! In that case, how can we not want to tell other ladies about it!”
    • The church in the funeral home – and veiled women (Kathryn Judson)
      “Following is an excerpt from Decidedly Not Official pulled out specifically for my friends in the head covering resurgence. It’s very much a side issue as far as the book’s main story is concerned, but it was fun to weave it into the tale. (And, yes, for what it’s worth, I wear a head covering.)”
    • Are Head Coverings Really for Today? (Evangelical Focus)
      “It is hard to imagine but since the 1960s the Church almost entirely practiced [head covering]. The influence of secular reasoning, feminism and liberal theology have led to the questioning and, ultimately, the casting aside of this practice in the Church at large in the evangelical world.”
    • People’s Reactions to my Christian Head Covering (And Why God’s Opinion Matters More) (YouTube)
      “I know very well from experience that taking the plunge into Christian head covering can be daunting. There is a great deal of fear surrounding the head covering, because we are worried about people’s reactions and the treatment we will receive. However, we have to remember who it is that we are serving.”
    • Why Do You Wear A Headcovering? (Radical Femininty)
      “For many years I wore the headcovering because my mother did, the ladies in our fellowship did, and the ladies in the community (ex-Amish/Mennonite) did. Positive peer pressure! But as I grew older, it was time to make a personal decision and answer the question for myself …”

    • Should women wear head coverings? (Dominic Bnonn)
      “I’m going to venture some comments on this recent article by Benjamin L. Merkle at the Gospel Coalition…I’m simply going  to quote what I take to be Merkle’s central points, and illustrate how badly exegeted and/or reasoned they are.”
    • Swing And A Miss (The Voice of One Crying Out In Suburbia)
      “The genesis of [Benjamin Merkle’s] essay is the very real problem posed to complementarians…why passages like 1 Timothy 2:13-14 are universal and binding but the church doesn’t teach that women should wear a covering”
    • The Recovery of Headcovering Practice (1 Cor 11) Uplifts And Furthers Complementarianism (Little maiden’s journey with Jesus)
      “…I came to be convicted more and more that the recovery of Headcovering practice uplifts and even furthers our complementarianism itself.”
    • New Yorkers Less Receptive to Gospel of Jesus Christ 14 Years After 9/11, Says Mennonite Missionary (Christian Post)
      “Members of the church, donned in conservative wear with women sporting head coverings, said they’ll keep visiting each 9/11, despite declining interest in their tracts and religious information.”
    • Long Hair IS NOT the Head Covering! (Reformed Christian Theology)
      “the fact that the proponents of dumping head covering don’t actually believe in enforcing long hair is proof that none of them really believe long hair is the covering. So, they have no choice but to change their reasoning to either “historical context” or accusations of legalism.”

    • A Picture of Christ and His Church Pt 2 (CRC Chesapeake)
      “Chapter 11 presents two clear pictures of Christ and His Church. One is the physical distinctions between men and women in worship, so important that even the angels are affected…the uncovered man a picture of Christ, the veiled woman, a picture of the submitted church.”
    • Alexandra || How we wear them! (Garlands of Grace)
      “We were so blessed to receive these pictures from our customer, Alexandria!! She wore her [scarf] for her wedding day!…She also sent a picture of herself wearing her [headcovering] while sharing the gospel…So much loveliness in these pictures!! ?”
    • Head Covering A Symbol To The Unseen Realm (The Christian Journey)
      “The Church is to gather and worship God in the spirit (John 4:24) doing things that the world considers foolish but for the Lord there is great significance.”
    • Headcovering (Lost and Found by Grace)
      “In conclusion, I believe that the head covering is not simply a tradition of the past, but it is meant to be used today…Find a style that works for you, and make sure you know why you’re wearing one.”
    • The Case for Covering (Without Caring Twopence)
      “I went on to wrestle with this passage every couple of years, or so. Each time that I did, I leaned more heavily toward a direct application; but, I would always brush the study aside before resolving it….Finally, after about eight years, I pressed to settle the question. An informal booklet—a non-technical commentary on 1 Corinthians 11:2-16—is a result.”
