Neither do the Protestants. My reading of Scripture is that women are instructed to have their heads covered when praying.
"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered." 1 Corinthians 11:5-6
Why is this not the practice today? I've lately been wondering why my church does not adhere to the above instruction, but does adhere to the one regarding women not being in a position of authority over men in the church. Why enforce one instruction, but not the other?
Me thinks you're going to get flamed for such comments. I've had people make all sorts of tortured rationalizations as to why they do not have to follow God’s word here. You can do a quick google and get the gist of most of their excuses. I think it’s just a plain old rebellious spirt. Women just don’t want to do it, so they don’t.
