...presumably small mantillas would also do the trick?
I think so, but others don't. The rule seems to be hardest and fastest among those that use large hats. The Indian brethren (from India) favor saris.

I strongly doubt it.
The whole point of simplicity of gathering and worship surely involves the idea that no piece of ground is supposedly holier that another.
'Jesu, where'er Thy people meet,
There they behold the Mercy Seat,
To them that seek Thee, Thou are found,
And every place is hallowed ground.'
It's just like Baptism, it is a symbol of the Gospel.What value do you find in communion and how often does your church have it?

What the writer is contending for is that the Lord's Supper is a special means of grace much like the Presbys contend. It is no more a means of grace than reading your Bible, praying listening to the preaching of the Gospel etc.
I don't think so brother. I believe he is saying the Gospel is preached through the sacraments or ordinances. Not that they convey grace in the means (like Calvin) or the work (RC), but that they convey the Gospel just like preaching the word conveys the Gospel. This is what, if I'm not mistaken, Bullinger taught and has been largely forgotten.
