Featured Women wearing head Coverings

prophet, me "tinks" you missed the point however..., some of 'dem wheelchairs are quite elaborate. As for me, I wouldn't care where she parked it.

 

My guess is that someone that has hats, coverings and the like foremost on their mind in the array of Christian thought, they have not told anyone about Jesus for years.

 

What about those of us who have no husband? Who is our authority? Should we wear some type of head covering? I do have hair btw :tongue3:

Amy G., as you have no husband you might find yourself in a situation should you happen to visit the wrong church. :tongue3: Might find youse-self relegated to the last pew..., over on the far left side..., with a lot of whispering going on all around you.

But it's good to hear you've still got hair. I don't know where mine went but I'm still looking for it. :thumbsup:

 

I believe we are all equal in Christ, and that the head covering shows submission to the husband. Since most churches do not weigh too heavy on this, the head covering is abandoned. Others have assumed that the woman's hair is her covering, since it is for her glory (11:15). Yet, the southern churches have all women wear coverings, and those women limit their heads being covered for church and not at all times, which we should be ready for prayer at all times, so shouldn't the head always be covered?

However, I wonder how much of this is in reference to the Jewish customs and the Law. Jewish women cover their heads after marriage, even today. The Law had women shave their heads if caught in adultery, so they would also wear a head covering, thus comparing the uncovered head to the adulteress (11:6). What has changed, though, is the Jewish men's practice of praying with a head covering. Even Jewish boys wore head coverings, and continue this practice today.
