About this website
This website is owned and run by Paul K. Williams, P.O. Box 324, Eshowe 3815, South Africa, paulkwilliams.za@gmail.com. (For a short biography click Here.)
For a long time I have desired to see open discussion of what is taught in 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 in brotherhood gospel papers, but my halting attempts to bring this about failed. In 1976 I wrote a tract which had limited distribution, Woman's Head Covering In Worship. And I continued studying the subject.
As I studied, I found much newer material on the head covering customs of New Testament times, especially in the Roman and Corinthian areas. Finally in 2005 I wrote a book which is advertised on this page.
I am hoping that this website will stimulate careful study. It is my aim to keep adding articles, tracts, and reviews. I also hope that readers will send their comments and articles. I will use your name only if you give permission. I do not promise to print everything which is sent; I will use the discretion of an editor; but I hope to print representative material from all viewpoints.
May God bless us all as we carefully study to do God’s will.
—Paul K. Williams
