Catholicwife, that is an interesting observation. I wonder why that is. Also, something else I've noticed, why is it, in 'modern' cultures, women cut their hair? Granted, I've cut my hair many times, and short too, but it seems like when societies, as a whole, get more liberal, ladies hair gets shorter.
My hair is shorter because it eaiser to take care of. When my hair is long it has two kinds of curl. I don't want o spend the time using a curling iron or flat iron  And don't get me started on the tangles.

I just stumbled upon this thread while looking up more info on head covering. I'm actually one of the minority of Catholic women who wear head coverings in church... I was drawn to the practice after a discussion with a friend of mine a few months ago. I wear a lace mantilla with a small comb sewn underneath to keep it in place.
One of the frustrations that I'm having is that ALL Catholic women used to wear a head covering in church up to about 40 years ago. All throughout the centuries, women wore veils--some in church only but many outside of church as well. It's interesting to see that this is the first time in the history of Christianity that women haven't worn head coverings...
If anyone is interested in lace mantillas, I make my own at VeilsbyLily.com.  Longer mantillas are great for either draping over the shoulders (the sewn-in comb is very useful!) or for tying behind the neck.
I don't get this fustration.

Since you seem up to date on the topic, would you (or anyone else) like to provide some historical background on head coverings in the African church?

When we attended a large international evangelical church in Ethiopia, the only other covering woman besides me was an Indian lady who pulled the end of her sari up over her head during times of prayer.
Nice. :-)
