How do the Assemblies of God interpret 1 Corinthians 11:2–6?
Upvote:2
As far as I am aware, the Assemblies of God does not have an official stance on physical head covering. The woman is free to decide.
At my church, Findlay First Assembly of God (the oldest AG Church), it was interpreted as a spiritual or metaphorical covering, refering to women in leadership positions over men within the church.
The women in Corinth, by prophesying without a head covering, were sending a signal that they were no longer submitting to male authority. Paul sees this problem as severe because the arrogation of male leadership roles by women ultimately dissolves the distinction between men and women. - Thomas R. Schreiner
