Conservative Mennonite in the context of "Dordrecht Confession"

A hanging veil, also known as a flowing veil or charity veil, is a type of Christian headcovering which is worn by some Christian women continually, in obedience to Paul the Apostle's command in 1 Corinthians 11:2–10. They are designed to drape over the natural curves of a woman's head and hang down a woman's neck. Opaque hanging veils are usually white or black in colour for modesty.

Hanging veils enjoy popularity in a diverse array of Christian denominations, especially those of the Anabaptist Christian tradition (such as Mennonites and Hutterites). In certain Conservative Mennonite Anabaptist congregationations of the Beachy Amish Mennonite tradition, an opaque hanging veil is permitted as an alternative to the kapp if it covers as much or more hair as the kapp, which traditionally is "of ample size to cover most of the hair". Certain denominations of Christianity provide guidelines regarding the headcovering; the Ministry Training Center of the Biblical Mennonite Alliance, for example, teaches:

Biblical Mennonite Alliance (BMA) is an organization of Conservative Mennonite Anabaptist congregations located primarily in the eastern two thirds of the US and Canada, with some international affiliates. The BMA congregations are organized into groups called Regionals that are under the oversight of ordained ministers called Overseers.
