We (women) are to be silent in church.. We are not to be leaders or pastors or teaching men in the church enviorment.. Our head covering is our husband.. Women are not to upsurp the authority that God has placed upon man. Now if a Pastor calls upon us to read a scripture we are not upsurping his authority we are being submissive to it. To disagree to do this would be upsurping his authority as our shepherd. I will have to study the head coverings more.. I don't really have an answer right now on that one for sure.. Men have not called woman to lead in the church gatherings.. This is a mans authority. I hope this helps. If this really does bother you then I suggest you go to the shepherd of the flock and discuss this with him.
