My wife and I are convinced that women are to wear head coverings in public worship, as per 1 Corinthians 11:1-16. Several months after our first daughter was baptized, we came to the conclusion that there was no warrant to suppose that it would not apply to females of all ages (including our baby girls), as well.
So now, our second daughter will be baptized this coming Sabbath. Should she be baptized with the head covering on? Or should we take it off immediately before she is baptized? The pastor who will be performing the baptism (who also believes as we do regarding head coverings) thinks that it would be more proper to remove it for the baptism. --- I'm not in a denomination that requires women to wear a head covering, and so have never seen this even posed as a question.
What's your take? (And please do not derail this thread into discussions on the validity of infant baptism, or whether our daughter ought to wear a head covering in worship; those are assumed principles in this question.)
