When should a kilt NOT be worn?

[TNScotsman]

I am sure I could wear a kilt to church no problem, but as Matt points out in his article, would that cause a distraction to others that it would distract from the reason for attending in the first place?

I concur that is the most central question. In my case, our congregation is a rather eclectic mix of research scientists and academics, so we're somewhat accustomed to being surrounded by people that most of society might not consider normal. I try to at least appear relatively normal, in spite of being a crazy academic, but I doubt my kilt would disturb others.

Like most things in life, I agree that there is a line between what is permissible and what is respectful to those around you. That's a judgement call you'll have to make based on your own experiences in your church.
