I absolutely agree. I was raised in a setting where the covering was an accepted thing. All the women wore them including little girls 2 years old and up. I have long ago decided that the covering isn't a salvation issue but there are ramifications in connection to it. I know that there are people that relate to that differently than I would but I don't make an issue of it because I really am not responsible for other's doing or not doing what I feel is right. I agree that you would be a much better influence by staying. It seems that the more conservative Mennonite churches are much more for having everyone look the same and have an extremely hard time accepting someone who doesn't share most of the convictions and practice the applications the way they do. I think that if there is a willingness to work together in spite of differences is really submitting to each other in a way because we are not forcing our own view on them. There is always room for change when God works in the heart, not before. Too often we think that we need to do the convincing ourselves and jump the gun. Well anyway keep up the good work and let your light shine!
