Why doesn't the Queen take her hat off in church? Do you think she should?
480662
No. In many religions it was required for an older girl or woman to keep her hair at least partially covered. With a hat, scarf, mantilla, or even a paper towel in a pinch.\nA woman's hair was looked upon as a "crowning glory" for her, and it was a simple gesture of humility and modesty for her to wear something on her head.\nThe same wasn't thought about men's hair, so men removed their hats as a show of respect.\nIt's as simple as that. Being an older woman, the Queen probably is just sticking with the old traditions.

She wore a royal blue coat over a multi-coloured dress with a royal blue hat on Tuesday\n\nA pale blue coat and matching hat on Wednesday (couldn't see the dress underneath).\n\nA lime green coat and matching hat on Thursday (couldn't see the dress underneath).\n\nMy personal favourite was the pale blue, very classy.\n\nPeople like to know what colour the Queen's outfit was as you can place a bet on it!

I am the twin brother he is refering too. I have a fwe things to say to all of the people speaking out of ignorace (not judgeing, but speaking truth). A hat is a hat. A hat is not a social bearing representation. If it was, then you are all materialistic and judgemental. Does wearing a hat make me a certain type of individual? Does it really? DO you all really think that God will not listen to my prayes and deny me his love because I have a hat on, or because I didnt dress in nice clothes for church? Am I nothing more then just the clothes that I wear? This has NOTHING to do with smoking or respect for another person. I am not a JEW but I would not ask a A Jewish person to take off their beanie cap if they entered my house. I would not ask a person to take off their shirt if it said, "I love weed" on it, if they entered my house. I have my christianity beliefs but my job as a christian is not to condem or judge others. Not my wifes grandpa (not uncle) asked me in a not so nice way, (first time he met me) to take my hat off. I gave him the same respect he showed me. He learened right away that I am an individual whom is meant to be treated as such. I told him that I wasnt going to ask him to take off his pants and so he should not make me uncomfortable by asking me to remove an article of clothing which was of no representation of my personal being. He had to learn that God does not discriminate and so he cannot justly ask me to take my hat off for his comfort and for HIS beliefs on this subject. As some of you are saying... he can kick me out of his house, if he really wants to make a big deal about me wearing a old navy hat. Then the issue becomes his problem for taking it too far... over a hat. JUST like some hear are taking this too far. I take my hat off ni church because its my belief and I take my hat off for the pledge or national athem because its my belief, but I do not subdue to othes beliefs on such a small issue. He later found out that the hat has no actual representation of my true spirit and he found that he could move past the issue to where he actually gotten to know me quite well. Stand for what you belive, dont make big issues out of small ones, let the little stuff go, and learn to make a difference where it REALLY counts. Have you spent time with your children latey? Have you stopped with your porn obsessions? Are you contributing to your marriage the way a mana nd woman should? Are you a victim of being "fake" to fit in? \n\nProblem is Josh, most people now days cannot say who they are, and stand for what they belive. They just follow the other fish ni the steam because they are too afraid to swim against the current in order to prove a point or to make a right out of a wrong.\n\nBTW, smoking affects others and is hazardous. Last I checked, wearing a hat was not hazardous.\n\nSomeone PLEASE tell me WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY it is disrepsectful. Give me that at least. What does the hat represent that is so bad? Tell me! (Josh watch, there is no reason but tradition, which needs to be broken because its discrimanatory...and for what?)

in most (not all) pentecostal churches,and a few others, the women do not cut their hair, wear makeup, long skirts and sleeves that cover the elbows. from what i understand this "tradition" (not the word i'm looking for) is an interpretation of a  scripture in the Bible about women not dressing as men and vice versa. also there is mention of a woman's hair being her crowning glory.

I didn't know that.  I thought she would be older. Anyway, I hope she reigns as long as see wants, or how long it takes her grandson to become king.  I shudder to think what would happen if prince Charles becomes king.  God save the Queen.

Women are suppossed to have their head covered in church. Their hair covers their head.

No, she is a Christian. \nI have been a fan of hers for 20+ years and have read her book and tuned in for hundreds of interviews.  She is not an 'in your face' Christian but she does often mention God and prayer and how her faith has sustained her in life.

Yes, many of the Queen's outfits are worn more than once. She is fairly economical so that is why you will see various outfits over and over again. Some outfits are altered to make them look different. When the Queen toured Saudi Arabia she had to conform to customs on appropriate clothing. Once the tour was over she had some of the outfits altered to be more appropriate for other occassions.\n\nShe has a dresser who maintains all of her outfits, they are catalogued by when they were worn, what accessories were worn with them and then carefully stored. Some of her evening gowns from the last 50 years are currently on display and obviously they have been well taken care of.

i don't think women should be quiet during church.

Gosh! It has nothing to do with that. This is the third time someone has asked that question. Just pray for Goodness sake! Pray naked if you want to, just as long as your sincere in your heart just pray, standing, sitting, hats on or off, it doesn't matter! I prayed while I was sitting on the toilet once and God still answered the pray. He isn't worried about all of our crazy thinking! And I am a christian, but I'm frustrated with all of this religious stuff! No wonder people don't want to come to church, they think the church is CONFUSED!

The queen of England is merely a figurehead in parliament. The Prime Minister does all the work. (Likewise, no disrespect.) It wasn't always like that though. Before the English Revolution, it was the other way around. to find out more on the subject, do a search about "English Revolution."

Moslem women that cover their head, even the bible says that all women should cover their head.\n\n1Corinthinians 11:3-6 it says "If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off, and it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head"

I like the fact that Elizabeth will not step down to hand the reigns over to Charles. \n\nI would like to see it go directly from Elizabeth to William. \n\nI thought that was very cool she invited others born on the same day to share her birthday with her.

LOL.  I love your question.  Thankfully, Christians choose to ignore those laws.  We tend to pick and choose what to follow from the Bible.  And the next time one of them says something like, "I only discount the law of the Hebrews in the Old Testament, but homosexuality is still wrong in the New Testament," (stated so by Paul, not Jesus) mention the women-are-inferior thing in 1 Corinthians 11:3-10.  I don't know many modern churches that force women to wear a veil.  Personally, I follow Jesus ("love your neighbor"), not Paul (writer of 1 Cor).

I'd like to see her come around. Refreshing viewpoint.\n\nUnfortunately, if she's looking for Christian acceptance, she probably won't find it here. From the perspective of a dirty heathen, though...she sounds quite reasonable, pleasant, and has considered her religion with research beyond what she's been told in church. I have the utmost respect for anyone who has done this, no matter what beliefs they settle on afterwards.
