In the Old Testament Of the Bible, a womans hair is called her crown of glory-nothing in the New Testament refutes that.

Okay, but what does that have to do with covering one's head in the Lord's House?

I happen to have that philosphy myself (hence 25" hanging length as of the moment), but that doesn't speak to the humility of covering that glory while in prayer.

God looks into our souls-he probably wouldn't recognize our physical selves if he passed us on the street.

what does it have to do with....

I think the author addressed that here: There is no question that she may pray or prophesy — that is understood to be the task of every believer. And yet, by drawing attention away from her natural “glory,” she causes men and angels alike to avoid temptation.

Humbly hiding her beauty is how I'm reading her answer. That's not a bad thing.

My issue is still with the cultural concerns argument.
