There are many church groups where women still use head coverings - (some) Catholics, most all Mennonite, Amish, Brethren and some other "Christian" religions always wear head coverings. Is this tradition still taught? If not, why not?
The following is from I Corinthians chapter 11 NJB ...
"And for a woman to pray or prophesy with her head uncovered shows disrespect for her head; it is exactly the same as if she had her hair shaved off. Indeed, if a woman does go without a VEIL, she should have her hair cut off too; but if it is a shameful thing for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved off, then she should wear a VEIL."
"But for a man it is not right to have his head covered, since he is the image of God and reflects God's glory; but woman is the reflection of man's glory. For man did not come from woman; no, woman came from man; nor was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man: and this is why it is right for a woman to wear on her head a sign of the authority over her, because of the angels."
"Decide for yourselves: does it seem fitting that a woman should pray to God without a veil? Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but when a woman has long hair, it is her glory? After all, her hair was given to her to be a covering."
"If anyone wants to be contentious, I say that we have no such custom, nor do any of the churches of God."
