"I do leave it up to the conscience of others to decide for themselves however, I would not consider it legalistic should the church decide to require head covering. I would also think it odd for a man to wear a hat in worship and would hope that the men of the church would speak to such an individual to encourage them not to continue for it is not appropriate again according to Scripture." - quote from Chestnutmare

I agree with your view on this completely. My church does not require it either. We leave it to conscience. When visitors come in among us, they are not required to wear the head covering. Like the Lord's supper, once believers are properly grounded in the truth, they will obey the teachings of Scripture.

I read linked article and found it to be a very good and scholarly treatment of the subject. That will be a "keeper."
