[Islahonline]

From: Media Watch Headcovering for Catholic Women & Some Sites  The Veil in Christianity http://www.invitation2truth.com/islam/Hijab10.html A common misconception is that Muslim women are the only ones who cover their hair. It may be true that Islam is the only religion in which most women follow its directives to cover the hair, but it is not the only religion to have such directives..... read more Headcovering for Catholic Women http://www.catholicplanet.com/women/headcovering.htm   "For if the woman be not covered, let her ALSO be shorn:" 1 Cor. 11:6 (AKJV)   "But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.     "For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels....If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God." (1 Corinthians 11:3-10,16) In obedience to Sacred Scripture, many Catholic women wear some kind of veil or headcovering. Some wear a headcovering only at Mass. Others feel called to wear a headcovering at other times during the day, as well as at Mass. Many non-Catholic Christian women also wear a headcovering. These women are following the call of the Holy Spirit. Society discourages women from wearing a headcovering and from doing anything else which shows submissiveness and obedience. Yet these women have found the light of truth in the midst of dark times. The moral law requires all women to wear the veil on their hearts. A woman should not wear the veil on her head, until she is wearing it first on her heart. A woman who wears the veil on her heart accepts the place that God gives to women in the Church, the family, and society. Women who wear the veil on their hearts are imitating the Virgin Mary in her humility, submissiveness, and obedience to Christ. Here are some links to sites about women wearing a headcovering. On many of these sites, these women explain their own experiences and their understanding of the theological reasons for wearing a headcovering.   Ladies - Here is a great e-mail Forum: "Headcovering Christians" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/headcovering *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Mennonite History - Headcovering http://www.mhsc.ca/encyclopedia/contents/P739ME.html Proper Dress & Behaviour - Headcovering for Women http://www.catholicplanet.com/women/headcovering.htm Headcovering (NEWEST & GREAT!) http://www.mtaonline.net/~psmith/Headcovering.html Catholics' Thoughts on Veiling http://www.kensmen.com/catholic/theveilthoughts.html The Veil http://web2.airmail.net/~carlsch/MaterDei/Library/the_veil.htm Open Scroll - Headcovering http://theopenscroll.com/headcovering.htm The Veil (Catholic History) http://friarsminor.org/xix10-2.html Headcovering in the 21st Century http://www.angelfire.com/la/loavesandfishes/headcover01.html On the Privilege of Being Woman http://www.columbia.edu/cu/augustine/arch/frear/hildebrand.htm Wear Your Mantilla With Pride http://www.latin-mass-society.org/wearmantilla.htm Religious Veil http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15321c.htm HC-Is It REALLY an Issue? http://www.montanasat.net/rickv/Headcovering_Veiling.html#Headcoveringissue No Such Custom-Exposition 1 Cor 11:2-16 http://www.bible.ovc.edu/terry/articles/headcovr.htm Feminism & Veiling of Women http://www.halo-works.com/catechism/On_Feminism_and_Womens_veils.html Revelation On The Lord's Supper & Women's HC's http://www.nccg.org/006.html Biblical HC- Scarf of Hidden Power http://www.crossover.ellison.net/HeadcoveringIntro.htm#Bibliography Let Her Be Veiled (book) http://truthinheart.com/EarlyOberlinCD/CD/Doctrine/BeVeiled.htm Significance of the Christian Woman's Veiling http://www.anabaptists.org/tracts/covertrc.html Veil of Virgin Mary http://catholicplanet.com/veil/index.htm Fern's Homestead-HC http://fernshomestead.com/headcovering2.html Christian Veiling http://www.bibleviews.com/Veil.html Christian Woman's Veiling http://www.anabaptists.org/bh/t19.html Why Do Some Women Cover Their Heads? http://www.prophezine.com/search/database/issue37/is37.7.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All views expressed herein belong to the individuals concerned and do not in any way reflect the official views of Hidayahnet unless sanctioned or approved otherwise.
