With both the practical and religious reasons for head covering, I began
to understand the culture Paul addressed at Corinth would have been
similar to the one I saw in India. Religious men and women wore head
coverings, whereas some only wore head coverings for practical purposes.
To be asked to remove or add a head covering would have been a real
issue in his day because it was a part of every day life for various
reasons! It definitely could have led to some heated debates. Imagine
asking a Muslim man to remove his kufi (or in Paul’s day a Jewish man to
remove his yamaka) or a man who has been in the sun all day to remove
his head scarf while still outside!
