That's exactly what I would bring up all the time. The bible does not say what color veil to wear but that's what we were taught. I don't believe that is what Jesus wanted me to wear. That was my argument with others, if the bible says you have to wear a veil, then why do not the UPC women or any other religion wear veils? I did not ever feel convicted when I did not wear a veil at church. Then I was told out of respect I should wear one AND was given a white veil to wear. I said no thank you. They made me feel like I was being rebellious, but I wasn't. I just did not like being forced to do it.

Thanks Scott for the welcome!!!

Was it the Apostolic Assembly Of The Faith In Christ? Or was it an independent group? There are not many (hate to put it this way) "White" Churches that practice this.

I personally believe Paul taught that when Women PRAY OR PROPHESY in public they are to cover with a veil or scarf of some kind. I wish an Apostolic group around here taught this truth.

It was the Apostolic Assembly of The Faith In Christ or Assemblia Apostolica de La Fe en Cristo Jesus.

FYI The Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith teach that women should cover their heads (veil or hat) we are a very large black apostolic organization...larger than the AAOCFCJ. We broke away from the PAW back in 1919 because we believed I the veil and no second marriages with a living divorced spouse while the PAW begged to differ (oh and we don't ordain women pastors) Bible Way World Wide wears the veil too as well as other organizations in Europe and abroad..trust me you were not alone.

However we don't require certain colors for the married or unmarried.
