I've got nuthin'.
Ummmmm.........ya. I wonder what Peacebang would have to say about this.
Must be the clergy's answer to the Southern Belle penchant for tiaras.
Looks like a nurse's cap to me.
ooh!ooh! pick me! pick me! I live in a predominantly African American neighborhood!
The few African American women who are pastors in the traditionally African American denominations wear white robes every sunday with white hats---cause you know you can preach the word but there'll be none of that vain hair showing thing going on. And most of the Deaconesses also wear all white--stockings, hat and all, every Sunday---usually beautiful suits.
I wanted a hat so's I didn't have to wash my hair.
uh what peripatheticpolarbear said. It is right and good to wear one of those especially if African American Female Clergy.
I'm with QG -- it has nurse's cap written all over it.
I would have a hard time covering up my hair for worship. I have a lot of hair, and it's thick, and frankly, I spend a king's ransom getting it to look good. And I should cover it up? I think not.
I'm with sue. I love my hair!
However, the "crown" idea might have some merit...something shiny and tasteful...ooh, or like Lucy's crown in the Narnia movie...or there's some really humongous "how could you ever wear that" crowns in the Coptic Museum here--from the middle-eastern-kingdoms-of-a-long-time-ago...maybe it would lend us some credibility with the "where's the pastor?" brigade.
If you are gonna call your cap a crown, you totally have to put something sparkly on it. Them's the rules.
PPB and Abi--I figured it must be something like that, but didn't want to leap to conclusions without first-hand knowledge. And I'm with Teri and Rach: if a hat is required, make it a hat worth wearing: even if it has to be white, does it have to be a nurse cap/faux chess queen affair?
The woman in the photo reminds me of a book. "Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats" by Cunningham (2000). It was exactly that but included a one page essay about the woman and what she felt about her special church hat. You could probably find it at your library.
