Culture clash explains 1 Corinthians 11: a few rich women casting off coverings among general practice

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 02:52:09 – 02:54:11

Mike harmonizes the textual and artwork evidence.

The general practice among common women was to wear head coverings. Rich, more influential women were casting them off. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul deals with this: most Corinthians still do it (v.2 praises them), but a few aren't (hence the arguments). This culture clash of rich women's extravagance vs. common custom explains the passage well.
