Always found this to be a very interesting passage.
The idea that woman have to cover their head while praying or prophesying while men are not supposed to.
Here's what I think of the ideas:
1) I agree that men are made in the glory of God and that woman are made in the glory of man. however it also says that all things come from God. Even though woman came from man and man was born of woman.
2) It says "because of the angles, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head." Really? I give in that we have authority over us. But really???
3) I like this part: "Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?" This part kinda leaves it for people to choose themselves but then the next verses kinda suggests otherwise. They talk about what is proper, men are not supposed to have long hair and women do for a crown of glory on their head.
So what's the conclusion? Ummmm....? For now I'm continuing what I've been doing: not covering my head when I pray. But it is something to think about woman's place on earth.
