I am a web application developer working in PHP/MySQL/JQuery and related technologies. I also have attended two years of seminary. I am puritan in my theology and would point to the Westminster Standards as a good guide for theological questions.

I am also troubled by the last line in the MH quote. Is he discounting what he has just said "and it was right that they should do so"? Seems strange. I have always read "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God." as Paul telling people that contentions are not allowed, not that if you are contentious then you are suddenly okay.

comment Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion?
This is a question my church (Reformed Presbyterian) wrestled with for a while, we ended up with a mixed tray (I would prefer a common cup but oh well). I agree with what Narnian says, "The Fruit of the Vine" is what is prescribed. Never once does the Greek word for wine (oinos) appear in the related texts.

Yes, but what is the biblical basis for your answer @DoubtingThomas? We can think a lot of things 'personally' and that is what causes a lot of problems in the Church. I do agree with you btw, just want a Biblical answer.

Customs don't change for no reason. Was it the womens' liberation movement that pushed the change through, or maybe some other change in culture?

Gilbert, Like your answer but you did not answer the question as to why women stopped wearing hats.

@Iszi Gotcha. I think others may disagree, but I see your point.
