Eagerly awaiting your reply or are you too going to bed as your fellow travelor did rather than answering scripture?
well, both are part of the Apostolic Church -- a grouping outside the Apostolic Church isn't part of the Christian Church. Individuals -- well, if you follow the Church teachings...
I don't know where you get you're ecumenical revisionist information but that is simply not true.
From OCA.org:
QUESTION:
Is the Orthodox Church anti-Catholic?
ANSWER:
The Orthodox Church in America is not "anti-Catholic."
While Orthodoxy is not in communion with Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy rejects the notion that Roman Catholicism is the "other half" of the Church, this, coupled with the fact that Orthodox doctrine rejects certain teachings unique to Roman Catholicism - papal supremacy and infallibility, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, to name a few -- does not mean that the Orthodox Church is "anti-Catholic."
Orthodox Christianity sees itself as the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church established by Christ and handed down to us through the apostles and the unbroken Tradition of the People of God. While there may be some Orthodox Christians who might be looked upon as "anti-Catholic," this does not mean that Orthodoxy pursues an "anti-Catholic" or "anti-anything-else" approach as official policy.
It is the fervent prayer of the Orthodox Church that all people - Roman Catholic, unchurched, whatever - might some day be united to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church of Christ. Until that becomes a reality, we continue to pray for unity while, at the same time, rejecting any notion that Orthodox Christianity is just one of many "branches" or "expressions" of Christianity. To believe this would be to reject our understanding of Orthodoxy as the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
Your post makes no sense what-so-ever.
I believe that a better dewcription would be the one holy, Catholic Apostate Church.
I'm curious, do women remain silent and cover their heads when praying as par of this church you mention?
Yes
Where do they pray?
Any other questions?
Not when you can't answer the first.
Whereever and whenever they feel like it except in the worship service where they are commanded to remain silent.
Are they commanded to cover their heads in this worship service and where is it held, and when?
Are you unable to accept yes for an answer?
Not when I know you're seaking untruthfully, protestant confessions could care less what Paul said with regard to prayer just as they could care less how God instructed the temple to be built.
It is held on the first day of the week at whatever location the local church chooses to meet.
Please reply in a manner that makes sense
What is the name for the 'local church', and do they require covering heads of women during worship?
The fact is you're waffling on saying what confession because you know darn well it's hardly enforced, unlike ROCA parishes which have a sign on the door reminding parishioners of this commandment of the lord.
Roman Catholic perishes do and teach a lot of things that are unscriptural. They require a woman to cover their heads before entering. what does this have to do with the admonition against a woman praying with her head uncovered. I have even a had a woman ask to borrow my handkerchief so she could enter a Catholic church with her head covered.
The Lord commanded that her head be covered when praying, if she intends to pray in church she should cover her head simple as that.
Even in Europe I have yet to find Catholic churches that require women to cover their heads, however Orthodox ones do.
You choke on a gnat while swallowing a camel.
