! Head Covering
!! (email exchange with Zane Hodges, 2006)
| Hi Zane, Here is a brief question:* *In many churches throughout the world they advocate a head-covering for women to be worn during the worship service.
*[This is usually based on 1 Cor.
11:1-16.].
*Is this a Biblical concept?*
Thanks for your help - and have a great weekend.

Hi Bill,
It's a mistake, I think.
Women are not allowed to speak in the church meeting (1 Cor.
14:34-35) which they would need to do to pray (audibly) or prophesy.
Thus 11:2-16 refers to situations OUTSIDE the church meeting, as is confirmed by vss.
17-18 where consideration of the meeting begins.
Have a good week,
Zane
Hi Zane,
Here is a brief question concerning the role of women outside the local church:
* *Do you feel that it is a violation of Scripture for women to pray or speak before Christian groups outside the local church?*
For example, in our faculty-staff prayer breakfast, women normally pray and occasionally speak to the group [though the breakfast is under the leadership of men].
This does not seem to violate 1 Cor.
11:1-16 [but, of course, women are not permitted to speak in the Assembly (1 Cor.
14:34)].
Thanks for your insight on this.
Bill
Hi Bill,
No problem outside the church meeting although if they pray 1 Cor.
11 says they should be covered.
Years ago Betty Elliott spoke in the DTS chapel uncovered (fine, it wasn't a church!) and when she concluded she called on Dr. Walvoord to pray (very fine!).

Zane,
Here is a brief follow-up question to this discussion.
Let's suppose a man is having devotions with his wife and family.
Would it be in violation of 1 Cor.
11:5 for the wife [or maybe one of the daughters] to pray with an uncovered head?
Bill
Bill,
I don't know and would leave that to the conscience of the woman. 1 Cor.
11 presumes ( I think) a public situation since the praying is coupled with prophesying.
Take care,
Zanel
Thanks, Zane.
That is helpful.
I have one more additional question concerning this:
* *Is **prophesying** (in the context of 1 Cor.
11:1-17) refer to "**proclaiming an inspired revelation**" [as opposed to preaching or speaking God's word]?*
I know that some Bible teachers [such as Earl Radmacher] use verses like Rom. 12:6 to suggest that prophecy is also a "speaking forth" of God word.
That is, in some contexts they suggest that prophecy = preaching.
I tend to feel that prophecy refers to the gift of "interpreting the divine will or purpose" and is no longer available today.
[1 Cor.
13:8-10 may suggest this.]
Thanks for your help on this.
And I continue to pray for you and the ministry of Kerugma.
Bill
Bill,
I agree with you.
Zane
