Some churches or faith require that the women wear hats at all times what is the religious reasoning behind this. I was an Epistocal church(sorry about the spelling I'm new to religion) and saw that all women had to have on a hat.

In the Catholic Church some women wear a veil covering on their head. But this is a personal act of piety, not a requirement of the Church. It reflects what Saint Paul said in the bible. I respect women who choose to do this because it shows that they are trying to humble themselves in the house of the Lord. It recalls a time when women were ladies and is a beautiful tradition of the Catholic Church.

1 Corinthians 11:3-5
Wen you read this passage, keep in mind that local Greek culture apparently considered the head covering to be a sign of submission. So most churches assume that Paul was more concerned by the attitude of some women, not the actual hat that he is literally referring to.

1 Corinthians 11:5 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.
Legalistic churches use this verse as the basis for head coverings or hats in church.

Some women feel it is a Covering mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11 but it is actually referring to a Woman's Hair! They feel it is the covering mentioned in these Scriptures! In 1 Corinthians it answers your question by saying her hair is given to her for a covering.

i really dont know the significance of church hats. i think they are so funny though. being a full fleged christian, i do have to admit they are funny. but i think they came from the sourthern churchs, the sun was very hot there and they needed to be covered. just a guess.
