Playing the Pipes for Easter Sunrise Service

[QUOTE=Prester John;514531]I hear you. Funny how offended folks can get if a man wears a hat in church.

I'd just like to remind you, Trevor, that clergy would always have removed any and all headgear for the Canon (Eucharistic Prayer) of the Mass. So they had to endure the same cold heads as laymen for a good portion of the service.

It's that way as well in the Eastern Orthodox church. During the Anaphora (Eucharistic Canon), any monks/deacons/priests/bishops with the big hats (here) or mitres (here) remove them; they are also removed for the Lord's Prayer and the Creed.

I was always told to remove headgear when in the presence of the dead, (other than when pipeing) (not that they have ever complained)
