See post #9. I live in NJ, too, and I live near a church that requires head coverings. I guess people in other states would be surprised to know how traditional some of the churches are around here.
Last Sunday in my parish here in CA a young lady entered in a sleeveless dress and one of the senior ladies walked up to her and placed a shawl around her shoulders. The look on the young lady’s face was priceless. Its an awesome thing when the elder ladies of a parish take charge of the young ones and set them straight.
I grew up protestant and as a young man i didnt dare walk into services without a button down shirt and a tie on. Now its flipflops and shorts... Sigh.
Oh well, I’m happy I’m Eastern Orthodox now.
Good to know that this is being requiried.
