St Paul said no men praying covered at liturgy; our men don't.
St Paul said no women praying uncovered at liturgy. Our women pray covered; yours don't.
It's clear that your parish simply doesn't care what Holy Scripture says they simply go with the popular traditions of the time.

because OF THE TRADITION OF THE TIME, Paul gave an exhortation FOR THEN.
Context CAN be very important in Pauls writings as he, himself notes on occasion.

Our women pray covered; yours don't.1 Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."
Unless 'their women' are bald, you are in error.

It's clear that your parish simply doesn't care what Holy Scripture says they simply go with the popular traditions of the time.Maybe that's true in YOUR parish, but it has been freely admitted to me by other Orthodox here that not all their women go through their services covered and silent. You are not speaking for all Orthodox churches.
