He brings it as an example of one of those customs which was not kept in the Church. And the truth is that in many places this custom was effaced, as we know. Unfortunately, people do not read the Fathers in spirit but "to the letter". I suppose some converts still need to shake off their Protestant past.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-52441085840781120162011-08-30T07:53:45.547+02:002011-08-30T07:53:45.547+02:00Jesus said love one another, not "wear a head...Jesus said love one another, not "wear a head scarf." These are the kinds of arguments that alienate people from the church and also perpetuate divisions between Christians that detract from love, unity, and peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-14163479157094614022010-07-12T02:14:10.476+02:002010-07-12T02:14:10.476+02:00The issue was explained to me thusly: St Paul, in ...The issue was explained to me thusly: St Paul, in advocating the covering of female heads, was addressing an issue which was a source of contention and discord in his day. By the time of St John Chrysostom, the contention was gone; the issue was de facto resolved in favor of head covering. Chrysostom taught that Christians should not make an issue out of it, pro or con. As always in the Church, contentiousness is to be avoided. Now, some have made an issue of head coverings once again. St John (Maximovitch) showed himself to be a disciple of both Ss Paul and John in refusing to make a divisive issue out of uncovered heads. Men and women should quietly obey their bishops and parish priests in regard to attire and seek to draw as little attention to themselves as possible. I know of a matushka who actively and vocally discourages the wearing of headscarves: well, that, at least, is ridiculous. We would would all do better to mind our own business, and not to bother with what others are or are not wearing.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881234508676100831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-1628997530044743292010-07-04T22:30:27.486+02:002010-07-04T22:30:27.486+02:00Well, maybe the problem is that some of the other ...Well, maybe the problem is that some of the other Orthodox Churches don't get out to Fr Job much.Esteban Vázquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738869673774603152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-50509290269904883902010-07-03T06:04:05.776+02:002010-07-03T06:04:05.776+02:00Fr.

Even the Matushka doesn't cover her head. <br /><br />As far as pants go, they are permitted and some of the women wear them. During others services, women, and even the men. are dressed very informal, some wearing jeans.<br /><br />What do I know? I am just a clueless convert. :) My conviction to cover my head came from the Mennonite tradition and reading the Holy Scriptures.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01183436767997017002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-27893992950559482502010-06-21T19:05:10.495+02:002010-06-21T19:05:10.495+02:00The current policy of Holy Virgin Cathedral in San...The current policy of Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco (where St. John served and where his relics are) is that women should cover their heads and wear skirts in church.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-61995291362480004682010-06-21T01:58:06.513+02:002010-06-21T01:58:06.513+02:00We should not bear arms in church?We should not bear arms in church?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-38147084298584591212010-06-20T21:06:12.561+02:002010-06-20T21:06:12.561+02:00With regard to the wearing of headscarves, the fol...With regard to the wearing of headscarves, the following observation may be relevant:<br /><br />See: Meeting with Orthodoxy / Saints and shrines] in Russian -<br />MEMOIRS OF ARCHBISHOP John of Shanghai by<br />Vladimir Len: dated 20/02/2010 at Православие.Ru (Pravoslavie.ru)<br /><br />[Встреча с Православием / Святые и святыни]<br />ВОСПОМИНАНИЯ ОБ АРХИЕПИСКОПЕ ИОАННЕ ШАНХАЙСКОМ<br />Владимир Рэн<br /><br />“....The only thing Vladyka opposed was when on the following day at the end of the Liturgy women venerated the Cross without removing their lipstick. He said: “Please remove lipstick from your lips when venerating the Cross”. However the same women attended services without headscarves. And strict archbishop John of Shanghai never reprimanded them because of that, since he had seen himself that before the revolution, only peasants' wives who lived in the countryside wore headscarves, whereas ladies in the cities would usually come to church wearing hats, or bareheaded. Young girls, teenage girls and unmarried girls had never worn headscarves in Russian churches up until 1917. Therefore, after 1920, scattered worldwide, Russian women of the first emigration wave never wore scarves, whereas hats in church were very few and far between. Girls never wore either."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
