It didn’t used to, but now it grates on me when a bareheaded huss... err... woman gets up on the lector stand and reads. I think that’s what that passage means, they shouldn’t read, and they shouldn’t be altar boys, and they shouldn’t nag their men. And they SHOULD cover their heads. A woman’s hair is her crowning glory, and it’s distracting to a man to see it. I rather enjoy it, but it IS distracting and it leads me to great sin.

"I think that’s what that passage means, they shouldn’t read, and they shouldn’t be altar boys, and they shouldn’t nag their men."

No, what it actually means is that women shouldn't act like the pagan priestesses of the day did, screaming, wailing, and making an "unhholy spectacle" of themselves (this from my Bible study class leader, an elderly gentleman of great scholarship, who converted to Catholicism back in the days of the Latin Mass, who studied Latin to understand the mass, and then Hebrew and Greek to study God's Word).

Serving as lectors is perfectly permissible.
