the Milwaukee chapter of the National Organization for Women protested in St. John de Nepomuc Catholic Church; after taking their place at the communion rail, the women removed their hats and placed them on the communion rail. The following week, the Milwaukee Sentinel published a letter to the editor from “Mrs. M. E., Milwaukee,” who felt that the protest was “immature exhibitionism.” Nevertheless, in the 21st century, the practice of headcovering is being revived in the Western World among some women belonging to various Christian congregations where the practice lapsed, though other denominations have practiced the biblical ordinance perpetually, as with Dunkard Brethren or Conservative Mennonites, the latter of which count headcovering among the seven ordinances of the Church. The sociologist Cory Anderson stated that for those Christian women who continually wear it, such as Conservative Anabaptists, the headcovering serves as a outward testimony that often allows for evangelism. Current practices Styles With respect to the early Church, Tom Shank concluded that there were a variety of headcoverings worn by the early Christians, ranging from shawls to kapps: "William McGrath (1991) found that etchings in the Catacomb of Domitila in Rome—dating as far back as A.D. 95—show 'modestly dressed sisters wearing the cap style veiling.'

In the present-day, various styles of headcoverings are worn by Christian women: Denominational practices Western Christianity Continuing the historic Christian practice since the time of the Apostolic era, in Western Europe and North America at the start of the 20th century, it was commonplace for women in mainstream Christian denominations to wear head coverings during church services, with female members of certain denominations (chiefly Anabaptist Churches) wearing them throughout the day—an ordinance that is still enjoined in many traditional Anabaptist fellowships. These included Anabaptist (inclusive of the Mennonite, Hutterite, Bruderhof, Schwarzenau Brethren, Apostolic Christian, Amish, and River Brethren traditions), Anglican, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Moravian, Plymouth Brethren, Quaker, and Reformed (inclusive of the Congregationalist, Continental Reformed and Presbyterian traditions) Churches. In Roman Catholicism, headcovering for women was unanimously held by the Latin Church until the 1983 Code of Canon Law came into effect. A headcovering in the Catholic tradition carries the status of a sacramental. Historically, women were required to veil their heads when receiving the Eucharist following the Councils of Autun and Angers. Similarly, in 585, the
