I am a possible convert to Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and have noticed that although Paul indicates in 1 Corinthians 11:4 that men should not pray or prophesy with their head covered, there seem to be some (although not all) Eastern Orthodox Christian priests who have their head covered when they pray or preach. What is their argument for doing that?
