I relate to a lot of what Elana said! I am a rabbinic student and I often wrestle with questions of what it means to be "kavod kippah" and when I should don or doff my own kippah. (I am not kavod kippah all the time; at this point, I wear a kippah whenever I am actively "doing Jewish," e.g. leading services, studying Torah, davening, pastoral care visits, etc.) I wrote a post about this at my blog last year, which is still one of my favorites; it's called Being Visible.
