Haircoverings for women in public prayer and worship

The beauty and honour of womankind

15 lines of reasoning in 1 Corinthians 11 why women should cover their hair when worshipping or praying in public services:

1.Ordinance of God v. 2-3
2.Godhead observes distinctions of headship. v. 3
3.There is a sharp, binary distinction between the sexes/genders, which reflects the Divine Image. v.4, 5
4. Honour of womankind. v.5
5. Avoidance of shame v.6
6. The created design of the genders. v.7
7. Chronology of creation. v.8
8. Purpose of distinct creation. v.9
9. Angelic witness & judgement. v.10
10. Interdependence of genders. v.11
11. Equality means compatibility not identity. v.12
12. Equality means being complementary not interchangeable. v.12
13. Aesthetic considerations of femininity. v.13
14. Natural judgement (subtly different from 13, an objective reality) v.14
15. Universal practice of the churches. v.15

Rather than asking should we be adopting a cultural rule,
we should be asking why has our culture deliberately overturned God's guidance?

The improper abuse or overemphasis of a command is not an excuse to neglect God's wisdom or His kindness.
