Our sister Angela Dekker represented evangelical Christianity in this documentary which was made by Ahlulbayt TV. It highlights non-Muslim women who also cover their heads.
This is a trailer for the full documentary which airs tomorrow night. There’s two clips of her and they play the sermon clip from D. Martyn Llyod-Jones as well.
In case you missed it, you can read Angela’s headcovering testimony which we conducted with her here.
After the documentary airs it will be posted online. We’ll make sure to let you know when you’re able to watch it.
Elizabeth McGee shares her testimony about how she went from being an Atheist to a Complementarian Christian wife & mom who covers her head during corporate worship.
This interview was filmed in Louisville, Kentucky in April 2016 by Jeremy Gardiner of the Head Covering Movement.
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981), minister of Westminster Chapel in London for 30 years, was one of the foremost preachers of his day. His many books have brought profound spiritual encouragement to millions around the world.
Transcript: “In the first epistle to the Corinthians in the eleventh chapter and the 10th verse, Paul uses these words, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.” You will remember that he’s considering the question of women praying without their heads being covered. Apparently some of the women in the church of Corinth were taking part in prayer with their heads uncovered. And the Apostle tells them that that’s quite wrong. It’s not only wrong because a woman should have her head covered to show that she is under the authority of the man, but in addition to that he says to that she should be covered because of the presence of the angels. In other words, the Scripture teaches that when you and I are met as we are at this moment and when we’re met together in prayer that the angels of God are present and are looking upon us. And the woman is to be covered when she takes part in public prayer because of the presence of the angels. It’s a tremendous and a remarkable thing. Let us bear it in mind.”
Full Sermon: This clip is from his sermon “Good Angels” which can be downloaded here for free.
In this video we compare 1 Corinthians 11 with 1 Timothy 2 to show that both headcovering and male eldership are grounded in the creation order. We also show how Complementarians who hold to the cultural view of head covering inconsistently interpret these two Scriptures. We share our concern of how this undermines Biblical manhood and womanhood.
It’s never been more important as it is now for Christians to be able to articulate biblical manhood & womanhood and God’s design for gender and sexuality. We must embody these truths in our lives and a part of that includes embracing the symbols that God has given us to show men and woman in their right position before God (1 Cor 11:2-16). As pastor Mark Minnick recently said “this is so timely.”
This clip by Dr. Mark Minnick is fantastic. We share his excitement about this symbol and fully agree that it’s a very timely. Give it a listen. If you’d like to hear the full sermon you can listen to it here (look for the sermon on May 24/15.) We’ll be posting his sermon series on this topic as soon as he’s finished it (which we believe wraps up this coming Sunday.)
