The Corinthian women were so liberated in the new found freedom that Christ brings that they had gone to far. Women of that era normally would be veiled when in public. This was a mark of respect for their husbands, or as it is still today in some cultures, their father or older brother. Paul has to correct this and he argues for these women to cover their heads again when engaged in public prayer or prophesying. His rationale is based on Creation, common sense and the common practice of all other churches.Sunday, 5 Jun 2011
