Head coverings in the AofG/Pentecostal Movement

Greetings Everyone!

I have a question for all the AofG/Pentecostals or whichever type of full gospel church you belong to out there.

I don't want to discuss what the right interpretation is of 1.Corinthians 11:2-16 on this thread

I just want to know in how many churches this teaching of wearing headcoverings(veil/scarf) during prayer/prophesying still is today among your Pentecostal circles.

Do you know some Pentecostal churches that still practice this?

Do some practice it and some don't?

When and with what do they cover their heads?

I just want some information on this subject

Here in Australia we would probably be hardpressed to find any women wearing a headress after the 1990's. I doubt that I have seen more than one or two over the past couple of decades who wear headcoverings in church.

I've never been to a Pentecostal or Charismatic church that taught a woman who cover her head.
I went to a Pentecostal church 45 years ago and the minister was insistent women cover their heads. A well known woman evangelist who was Pentecostal was invited to preach at the church but asked to wear a head covering, when she refused the offer to preach at the church was withdrawn. Years later the new minister withdrew this stipulation

Women wearing head coverings is still sometimes practiced here, especially at smaller AG churches. But, it doesn't fit the modern attitude that Church is for entertainment, not reverence. Narrow is the way.

Thanks

And by the way I myself currently attend a Russian/German language Pentecostal church in Manitoba Canada and we DO still practice head coverings
