Yes, there are a few... very few who do maintain the practice, e.g., Free Reformed Church and Nederland Reformed Church. I'm not sure if the Protestant Reformed Church has continued the practice or not. And, I cannot say if the Heritage Reformed Church holds to headcoverings either, although I would hope they would. Notice, that all of the above churches are of Dutch decent and are conservative. Personally, I likewise embrace the doctrine of headcoverings for women in worship based upon my own exegesis of Paul's teaching in 1Cor 11 and further convinced of my conclusions by people like Murray and Silverside and the history of the practice among the Reformers and Puritans. There IS a place for sound biblical tradition in the Protestant Church, see here: Tradition: Romish and Protestant grin
