[S1E8] The cosmological significance of head coverings

In the new cosmological order inaugurated by Christ, where all believers now serve inside the veil of the most-holy place, men should no longer cover their heads, but women should-and both for the same reason the priests of the Old Covenant did. In the case of men, there is no longer anything between God and them in the hierarchy; rather, man is the glory of God, and should therefore shine forth in the heavenly court. In the case of women, they signify their place under men by covering themselves-since they, as the glory of man, should not compete with God’s glory in the heavenly court.
