I am someone that advocates in practicing good deeds of God, rather than religion ethics. I have come to realize that some group of christians like to set themselves apart with some ridiculous set of characteristics and practices.
As an example, I wore my bowler hat to the church yesterday and one madam walked up to me and said as a MAN IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO WEAR CAP IN THE CHURCH, I asked who make this rule or where is it written in the bible? I dont understand why so many people prefer to chase shadow and loose the substance? Her answer to my question was, what will distinguish you from the worldly people? and that it is the tradition of church to remove cap when u pray or worship God.
I can relate with the issue of indecent dressing in church, but when some dresses OK why do they still get harassed by you dont wear trouser, you dont expose your hair (if you are a aldy) or you dont wear cap (if you are a man), Are all these things biblical?? Or are some set of people trying to create a cult culture within the church? Should people be allowed to express themselves freely with fashion and focus more on the state of their hearts??? Let us TALK!

1 Corinthians 11: "3)Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4) Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5) And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. 6) If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. 7) A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9) neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10) For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

First things first, I acknowledge your response in bringing the passages to public, I have a better understanding now.
I know they are not yardsticks but what is it with pastors like Chris Oyakilome and Okitie where their wives wear brazillian, peruvian and indian hair in church without any cover?

Another reply for you is that the church has its doctrines and codes of conduct which try to ensure discipline is maintained in and outside the church by those who choose to be servants of God. So if you want to go to church u must try to control your ego in order to discipline yourself as a child of God.
