Full Video👆🏻 Head Covering Controversy Not The Anabaptist Differences
Lesson Transcript
The device spirits and Anabaptists who, in their crazy fashion, are making new trouble out of the fifth chapter of Matthew. Before I go on, I want to mention that the crazy fashion of the Anabaptists was not the head coverings of ladies or their dresses. That was very commonplace. I'm going to read a little thing I found online. Martin Luther, Protestant reformer, encouraged wives to wear a veil in public worship.
The general rubrics of the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America, as contained in the Lutheran liturgy, state in a section titled "Headgear for Women." It is a praiseworthy custom based on a scriptural injunction for women to wear an appropriate head covering in church, especially at the time of divine service. John Calvin, the founder of the Reformed Churches, and John Knox, the founder of the Presbyterian Churches, both called for women to wear head coverings in public worship.
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Churches, held that a woman, especially in a religious assembly, should keep on her veil. So when he's talking about their strange clothing, he's not talking about our differences today between our denominations.
