Should women cover their hair? 1 Cor 11

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her[a] for a covering.
Women || in the Church at Corinth || in the first century || should not have prophesied with their heads uncovered.
It is inappropriate for anyone to violate the cultural norms of the time and place in which one lives.
For example; it was OK for a Christian to own a slave in the 1st century Asia minor. (See Paul's letter to Philemon.)
That's not ok today anywhere in a Christian culture. (It's illegal in the USA.)

Women's long hair: In 1st century Corinth, a woman without head covering was making a statement that she was not under the any man. Long hair was the norm for women because it was part of the beauty of the woman.
Today, women who want to make a similar statement as those not under the authority of any man in 1st century Corinth may cut their hair very short (buzz) or wear it in a manly fashion as a challenge to "traditional" cultural mores.

Nothing changes.

Hello calvin here.
I agree with Jim Parker (post #21) and I would add that the emphasis should be on hair, not the Milliner's idea of which bonnet is best or most fashionable for a lady to wear.
