Dress Codes

Gotta have something or it would be a free for all

unfortunately for some, everything must literally be spelled out for them

 

It sounds like a wise move.

There is a similar principle for worship in 1 Corinthians where Paul mentions women's head coverings and in 1 Timothy where women wearing gaudy jewelry is mentioned. The principle is so that our dress would point TO God rather than draw attention FROM God.

My daughter wears head coverings in Church for that reason, and I remove my hat during Church for that reason.

 

Or does a wedding band replace head covering?

 

Is that a misstatement?
1 Corinthians 11:7, ". . . For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, . . ."

 

I'm of the opinion that head coverings are required for women in addition to long hair, just as not having a head covering is required for males.

Hair is the glory of the women. A woman's hair should be covered in Church so that she does not take glory away from God. The man removes his covering to conceal his glory. The woman add a covering to conceal her glory. Therefore the only glory remaining in the Lord's House is the Lord's Glory. This was the standard for centuries prior to the Feminist wave.

You are correct there are others that do not believe in the head covering for women. They believe that Paul is addressing the Corinthian Church specifically.

R.C Sproul sums up my view on it in this 2 minute video:

 

It would depend on who is causing the contention.

If the the non-hair coverers are upset at the hair coverers then those upset need to suck it up and follow the weaker brother advice.

If the hair coverers are blackguarding the non-hair coverers then the hair coverers need to stop sowing division in the Church.

In no case should women wearing a head covering be forced to take it off, barring outlandish situations such as a 50 gallon hat with a circus on top that is a distraction.

My wife and daughter and others in my Church order nice, plain coverings from Garlands of Grace:
One moment, please...

 

I think it varies from family to family within Baptist and Presbyterian circles.

Mennonites that I know typically do have the Church provide guidance on length and they cover all of the hair.

For other Baptists and Presbyterians that I've jawed and agreed with, the presence of a visible covering seems enough to satisfy the requirement in Corinthians. If the husband and wife agree that wife and daughter's covering is "veiling her glory" then that's good enough. The exact length will vary from family to family with Christian Liberty.

This article does a good summation of length and type:
What is a sufficient head covering? Does it have to be a certain size or style?

Within the bounds of Christian conviction, modesty, plainness (not distracting) there's a large range of acceptable coverings.
