The dupatta is worn by many women in India whether they are Hindu or Christian, it is part of Indian traditions based in their ancient culture and not from Christianity or Islam.

Covering the head with a dupatta is done by the women in order to show respect.

Hindu women cover their head either in front of their elders also when they go to temple as devotees.

That is what I was thinking. I am betting most of the women having a head covering is just a cultural thing and not something the UPCI work in India is teaching. Particularly since that would be a misunderstanding of the bible! LOL

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I thought MtD was pointing out the girl in the praise team wearing a bifurcated lower garment.

We just can not allow the Hindus to outholy our Apostolic woman, we can do better than that.

From now on, I hereby decree that all Apostolic women shall wear burqas.
and to make sure we go above the Muslims, we shall require also our women to wear dark sunglasses, long sleeve dark gloves and wear dark long socks. lest anyone be tempted by their eyes, their hands or their feet.

Hey what's with all the guys being barefoot?

Instead of spending money on instruments, they should go out and get some PF Flyers.

Then they will really be ready to preach!
