Church of God (Guthrie, Oklahoma) Church of God (Restoration) Conservative Anabaptist and Old Order Anabaptist communities from the Amish, Apostolic Christian, Bruderhof, Charity Christian, Hutterite, Mennonite, Schwarzenau Brethren and River Brethren traditions are considered plain people for their simple lifestyle and plain dress, which includes Christian headcoverings for women. Likewise, Quakers of the Conservative Friends and Holiness Friends traditions practice a testimony of simplicity. As these Churches have a different origin than those of the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, they do not call this outward holiness although their beliefs often produce the same externals as those of the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, e.g. plain dress; the Calvary Holiness Church, a River Brethren denomination that was influenced by the holiness movement, is an exception given its dual theological roots. Other people with a similar lifestyle include the Plymouth Brethren, the communicants of the Laestadian Lutheran Churches, and some Reformed denominations, such as the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland and the Netherlands Reformed Congregations. Congregants in Independent Baptist churches are also known for their modest dress. Some Traditionalist Catholics, such as the communicants of the Palmarian Catholic Church, follow a full time modesty dress code known as "Marylike" standards, said to have been laid down by an unnamed cardinal who had visions from the Virgin Mary during the reign of Pope Pius XI (this too produces modesty externals similar to those in the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition).
