Re: Personal convictions?
I had a friend who attends a Gospel Hall. I had absolutely no idea since she wore jewellery and pants during the week. The young people at that Hall wore hats during the service.Hats Off wrote:To the best of my knowledge, all women in the Gospel Hall veil for worship services. Veiling for women in Bible Chapels varies considerably. In some assemblies, most women veil while in others, there are just a very few older ones that do.
A couple that left the Gospel Hall and went to a Bible Chapel said that when that move is made several things happen; the ladies cut their hair, wear jewellery and pants, all of which would not be tolerated at a Gospel Hall.
The service was unbelievably long - over 3 hours.

Re: Personal convictions?
I'm only familiar with the Bible Chapel ones, and I know that at one point at least years ago they had very good teaching on the veiling. Now, in at least one of the three locally, incoming Mennonites receive teaching against the veiling, I am told.Hats Off wrote:To the best of my knowledge, all women in the Gospel Hall veil for worship services.

Just listening to a video of Ravi Zacharias, and he said something very interesting: "Before you remove a fence, always ask yourself why it was put there in the first place."

Again, this list only includes the Gospel Halls but not the Bible Chapels.Sudsy wrote:Sorry, here are the Ontario churches Halls -Hats Off wrote:Those on that link are all in the UK.Sudsy wrote:

Re: Personal convictions?
I guess I'm not sure, but it sounds like that might be the case, I'm not aware of a Gospel Hall in our immediate area.Josh wrote:What are Bible Chapels? A less conservative version of Gospel Halls?
I've also noticed since we started this that what I would consider the more liberal "Chapels" actually call themselves Bible Fellowships instead of Bible Chapels. I don't know when this started.

Re: Personal convictions?
I consider the Gospel Halls to be Old Order; so yes, your assumption is correct. Gospel Halls are much more rigid - visitors at one Gospel Hall need to sit at the back of the assembly, even if they are prominent Bible Chapel.Josh wrote:What are Bible Chapels?
