And why are women preaching in Protestant churches? Why are they not covered? Please, HD, everyone cuts out that which does not fit a preconceived pattern. No one is sticking to the Bible 100%

That I would agree with. The difference is the Orthodox would change the scriptures to fit the life style they feel necessary. Personally, I would stick to the scriptures and have women covering their heads but people must do what they feel is right. You go to a group of people. We leave it up to the individual.

Sounds exactly what +Paul did. Did he not change the dietary laws, the circumcision, the obedience to the Law? In what Scripture did +Paul find those ideas?

But you are wrong as to the Orthodox. We do not change Scripture or anything for that matter. We have a Divine Liturgy that has its roots in liturgical Judaism, the Liturgy of +James, +Basil the Great and +John Chgrystotom, the latest dating back 1600 years.

Please tell me, show me, what have the Orthodox changed? It is a common practice and the only one at that, for the Orthodox Church to refer to the Patristics, the Scripture and Councils to resolve any issues of misunderstanding, always going back to the basics and the beginning.
