Or is that some sort of "Man will have sinful thoughts if he see Woman-skin" type deal? Is it supposed to stop blokes getting boners in the Sermon?
I'm not meaning to be rude or insensitive, and I'm not attacking you Loulabelle... just trying to understand the reasoning behind such a belief.
I'm always a little sceptical about a God who worries more about the clothes you wear than the way you treat people.

I agree entirely Caspar! And it's one of the reasons I'm not a Christian! But if I'm in a place where there are people who would be offended or feel it was disrespectful to their beliefs then I'll go by their guidelines.
I'm sure that if you went into a synagogue (no matter what your religion) and was asked to cover your head, then you would. It's common courtesy to respect the cultures of other religions.
Incidentally, if I ever get married I WILL NOT be marrying in Church - because it's not a religion that I subscribe to.
