The Head Covering
The Head Covering by Josiah Bongioanni offers insights into questions that arise from 1 Corinthians 11 in a style that mixes analytical thinking with numerous stories and historical quotes. In an age where the church is continually moving away from Biblical principles and neglecting divine commands, this book draws attention to an oft neglected question, aiming to call Christians away from following wayward society and determining what God’s Word says so as to follow the Bible seriously.

Sundays 9AM to 9:30AM
The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth. Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”. In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another. The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.
In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most. We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding. And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty. So, that’s what you get here. A safe haven for honesty. We share what we hold to be true and why. Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out. Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings. At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
