We women had our heads covered for this assignment, wearing the covers as the "badge" of our authority. Just as a police officer in civilian clothes may not enter our house to search it without presenting his badge of authority and a search warrant; or regulate traffic without being dressed in his police uniform, even so did we women not presume to bind, decree and declare without wearing our outward "badge" of authority, delegated by the Lord to ALL of His disciples. Without authority we would have accomplished nothing at this assignment except getting ourselves harmed.

Shira also had her head covered while she ministered, although she did not really have to do so since her husband (our apostle from beginning to end) was present with her. 

"If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of G-d."¹
