Yesterday I went to church

I went to the Mission Covenant Church in my hometown wearing my usual hat. I had predicted that people would react negatively to my choice of head gear since it's tradition to remove one's hat in churches. Being a Quaker I couldn't remove my hat except when praying and when sleeping. I don't sleep with my hat on.I was suprised when I noticed that nobody reacted to me wearing my hat except the reverend who complimented me on my choice of head gear saying it was cool. I hadn't expected that. I had earlier resolved to take my hat off when in a church out of respect for their tradition. It resulted in me not going to any churches since I wanted to keep my hat on. I had not expected them to respect the Quaker tradition of keeping one's hat on. Apparently people are more open-minded than I thought and this opens up a lot of possibilities. I can go to church with my hat on, I can probably also go to the Lutheran church with my hat on. Excellent!
