Father Bill, do you have any experience with fiddleback chasubles, similar to this one?
No experience with that style, although I've often thought it might be comfortable.
Isn't there a slight difference between the two tartans? Without going back to the register to check, I was pretty sure there was.
Where are you, "Lutheran Pastor?" In Canada the Anglican Church of Canada (me) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada are in full communion; that is, I can apply for jobs there and vice-versa. We each celebrate the Eucharist in one another's churches, etc. Very civilized.

Och. Slight difference in the one Clark version; much different in a couple, none that I can quickly see in the other.

He's in Hickory, North Carolina, and is the pastor of Lenoir-Rhyne University, a college of the ELCA.

I'm familiar with the concord between the ELCA and other churches. From Wikipedia:
The ELCA maintains full communion relationships with member churches of the Lutheran World Federation (which is a communion of 140 autonomous national/regional Lutheran church bodies in 78 countries around the world, representing nearly 66 million Christians), the Moravian Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Reformed Church in America, the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (the U.S. branch of the Anglican Communion), and the United Methodist Church.
You would be welcome concelebrating with Pr. Weisner, I'm sure.

As a Catholic, I have a certain love of vestments in general. There's a Catholic thing about the senses: beautiful visual environment, beautiful music, beautiful words, even beautiful smells can work together to help create a beautiful life in Christ.
Lovely vestments like those work seamlessly with this Gestalt.
When I think of vestments I always think of our dear old Irish priest, now retired, who spoke seven languages, Irish among them, and had the most stunning vestment I've ever seen, with the Four Evangelists out of The Book of Kells embroidered on them. They were a gift from an appreciative parishioner and were only worn on special occasions.
Seeing this deeply spiritual Irish-speaking Priest celebrating Mass wearing this vestment brought to mind the wonderful continuity of the Christian faith in Ireland over the last 1500 years... time was somehow compressed and the past and present somehow became synchonous.

Although Latin is pretty, I'd like to hear Mass said in Irish Gaelic. It would be extra-special, somehow.
Was your priest a Jesuit? They're known for their linguistic accomplishments.

I played uilleann pipes a few years ago for a Mass conducted entirely in Irish.
Trouble is, they had no missalette giving the responses, so the few of us who didn't speak Irish were clueless. I came away knowing how to say "Thanks be to God" in Irish, and little else, though I do have a smattering of Scottish Gaelic picked up over the years.
BTW here's The Lord's Prayer in Scottish Gaelic

Keep the faith, DBH, there is always hope! You may get him into a kilt yet. This Lutheran pastor always wears black except when he is wearing the kilt.
I have always admired fiddleback chasuables (but from afar, as I don't own any). All my chasuables are Gothic-cut with cowl necks. Being a tad "OCD," I am afraid I would always be "fiddling" with a fiddleback to keep it symetrical.

Well, Brother Henry, there's a remedy for that. The recipient's Mrs. sewed a pair of ribbons to the front and back of each side of this chasuble, to keep it from flapping around and to keep the weight distributed evenly. It would be very difficult to get it off-center, and is much easier to celebrate in, because of the cut-outs for the arms.
