The latest issue of Premier Christianity is now available. This month they’re having a “female focus” and as part of it they’ve featured an article by Heather Tomlinson entitled My Headcovering Experiment. The magazine cover reads, “From feminism to head coverings: challenging how society and the Church define gender roles.” You can read her article in full here.
Though she doesn’t advocate head covering (as a command) or complementarian roles, we’d like Heather for the positive article, the mention, and for bringing attention to this topic. Our prayer is that through this article, many will be led to give prayerful thought and study of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. If you’re visiting us from Premier Christianity you can view our guided study of this topic here.

Headcoverings? Say what?! (A Fruitful Home) “Now, I’ve been in church all my life. And I have heard some quick teaching on this subject, mainly just saying that it was a cultural thing that we don’t have to adhere to anymore. End of story. And that was enough for me for the past 33 years. I didn’t want to cover my head anyway. Even though I love the Amish way of life, I don’t want to look like the Amish, you know?”

A Modern Woman and the Headcovering (A Wordy Woman) “I heard preaching that warned of excluding pieces of the bible that seemed inconvenient to a certain agenda or doctrine.

I soon learned that friendship extended to just about every bible passage except the first half of 1 Corinthians 11- the head covering.”

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.”
