Women covering their head in church is about respect for the heirarchy in the church

It's fine if you're comfortable with that. Most Muslim women are also comfortable with their role in Islamic society.

As an afterthought, I should say that I wear no jewelery other than a wedding ring

I do hope for your sake the ring is not made of gold (1 Peter 3:3 and 1 Timothy 2:9).

But back to the point, a lot of Christians and Muslims do ignore those teachings they consider not appropriate, unneeded or rediculously combersome in modern society. I don't think that makes them any less members of their religions.

I'm not ignoring you anti, went home sick friday.

I got to study both scriptures you listed, these are guidelines given for Christian living, not laws or commandments. Women braiding their hair and wearing a lot of jewelry, etc. is used to define women such as Tammy Faye Bakker, who profess christianity, yet have no modesty.

I checked with the King James Bible, The New English Bible and the living bible, when the same three scriptures are compared by translation, the meaning becomes more clear.

I'll post them for you maybe later today, forgot them at home.
