Question: I have a question regarding the head covering. My current practice is to cover my head whenever praying, in or out of the worship. And I generally wear it throughout the worship period. But I do not normally cover it for singing outside of the worship. However, the question arises, “Are we praying when…

Question: I did have a pressing concern, and I’m sorry if you’ve repeated yourself on this topic but it’s about head coverings. I’ve read multiple answers of yours to questions about this and I’ve looked at countless other resources as well and no matter what, I can’t seem to decide which is right. One way…

Question: Hello! I read your article about the wearing of the veil by women in the Church. I confess that I was very surprised because I always believed that it was merely a custom — a cultural issue — and that the hair itself was already the veil. But I was convinced by your interpretation…

Question: Do you have anything regarding women covering that addresses the notion that it is only mentioned once and therefore cannot be anything of importance since prayer is mentioned several times by the Christ and the apostles spent a lot of time on the subject, but Jesus never says anything about it – just a letter…

Question: Some people say that wearing a Kippah reminds us of God, who is the Higher Authority above us. But it seems that only the Jews wear Kippahs. Is it okay for a Christian to wear a Kippah? Answer: A kippah is a small skull cap that is worn by many Jewish men during prayers, though…

Question: My question, which I could have said, “Yes I know the answer to that” has just made me stop and think. I was talking with a younger man after worship services this morning and we were talking about this: “Are men permitted, scripturally, to wear a covering (hat, etc.) during worship services?” Thank you…

Question: I just read an article called Command or Custom? by Hiram O Hutto. I have a question in regard to that article. I have a friend who says that the covering that Paul is referring to is not a physical one such as a veil or hat etc, but rather Paul is referring to the woman’s…

Question: This summer my family and I joined the Church of Christ in Vienna, Austria, after having fellowshipped in Evangelical Churches for the last 20 years. Since the Church of Christ is rather new to us, I did some research about the movement, read a lot about Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell, as well as…

Question: Someone related to me that the covering here is not an article of clothing according to the original language. He explained that the veil that Moses used to cover his face was clearly seen as such in the original language, but we don’t see it for the covering in I Corinthians. I have not…

Question: I wanted to thank you for the wonderful study of I Corinthians 11:1-16.  I have recently felt the need to study this.  I am a new sister in Christ and no one else in my church uses head coverings but I feel that it is what I should be doing.  Your explanation was so helpful…

Question: I’ve read a few of your statements on head coverings and find it interesting. How exactly can a woman begin to wear some sort of head covering within a church where this is not practiced or even mentioned? The key is to not present it as though they are “showing off” or having others…
