It seems people veer away from the truth when they stress the importance to OBEY 1 COR 11, instead of seeing the symbol of submission and ensuring THAT is in order before stressing the act of covering the ead in and of itself. Coveirng the head is part and parcel with the SUBMISSION it represents. And I have to admit I hear more "COVER YOUR HEAD, WOMEN" then I do "Ensure you submit to your husband as he gives honour and love to you" which is all represents.

I see the value of what you are saying. We seem to excel with rules, but struggle with principles sometimes.
