Are Head Coverings for Today? – Part 1 – 1 Corinthians 11:1-16

At Christ Reformed Church of Shawnee, the wearing of head coverings for women in worship is regarded as a practice that is encouraged but not mandatory. CRC Shawnee recognizes the place for a diversity of convictions among our members, and we value the liberty of each family to determine its practice. While some of the women wear head coverings as a symbol of humility, modesty, and submission, we also understand and respect that others may interpret 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 differently regarding the outward symbol of head coverings. CRC Shawnee emphasizes the spirit of charity, unity and liberty seeking to establish an environment of mutual respect and open dialogue where each family can worship God freely without judgment or contempt.
