The head covering thing reminds of a small church in Maui. the pastor was approached by a woman who said she felt called to preach from the pulit. the pastor paused for a while in a moment of silence. after which he went to the closet and pulled out a piece of lace 10"X10" and asked if she would be willing to where this lace over her head while she was allowed to preach. The woman's reaction was almost violent. NO I would not want to wear that, I will look silly wearing that. the Pastor replied if you wont wear it I will not let you preach in the church. She refused to wear it.
The women was not allowed to preach from the pulpit. And he knew she was in spiritual pride and that this request would not be heeded by the woman. she was offended and never attended church there again after 7 years as a member. she caused some others to leave too.
By the way this is a true story I was there
