Wondering in 1 Cor 11:4, where it says "prophesying" is this referring to just giving a sermon.. and if so, then is it the Orthodox view that in general the head should be uncovered when one is giving a sermon?

They take the hat off during the reading of the Scriptures and during the consecration, so prophesy and prayer is with an uncovered head. New Martyr Daniel Sysoev also made the point that monks are married to God, so they wear a covering on their head.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?
New Martyr Daniel Sysoev gives a somewhat detailed exegesis of 1 Cor 11 in this book, much of it can be viewed for free though spending the $7.00 helps provide for the Sysoev family so please spend the money.
Women in the Church: Submission or Equality?
I don’t think so, although they are related
Any suggestions for how I can learn what "prophesying" from 1 Cor. 11 means in the Orthodox context?
read the patristic commentaries
Ok, I can google patristic commentaries unless you have a specific recommendation.
Has he been officially canonized by an Orthodox synod? I'm only asking to discern how much authority to give to his teachings, relative to that of others.

I think he will likely be canonized due to his martyrdom.
I agree, he is like a modern day Chrysostom.probably, but his writings are really good from what I have read
