Kilted at Church

[Archangel]

I wore mine back in April, didn't get asked for communion but used a similar line. I tried kilt day but I felt like I was lying since they were so surprised and it wasn't on the calendar. Friend said tell them it's laundry day. Not that I need a reason, that one struck me as very funny so I used it.

Our pastor seemed very pleased that I would feel relaxed enough about his church that I would wear my kilt there. That was a perspective I hadn't thought of.

If anyone is near Woodruff, SC and wants to be kilted at church, come on to the ARP-Associate Reformed Prebyterian Church (on 101/Georgia ST-toward Gray Court, just across the tracks from downtown). I will be up front, maybe kilted, maybe not, depends on my mood, what's clean, and what I'm preaching.

I know some of the posters are against being kilted at church (one I am thinking of in particular), but as a preacher I find no problem with it, as long as one does not go out of their way to make a big deal of it. In fact, I find some other clothing, especially some worn by females as far more distracting and inappropriate.

Now, if only I can get some others in them too . . .

Moderators, if this crosses the line for religion-LET ME KNOW by PM. I am not sure how this rule is applied and am willing to back off as much as necessary. If this is fine, I won't go much further, I promise.

I wore my kilt toGreat Vespers Saturday evening, and then to the Kierkan O' The Tartans at the local Celtic Festival where myself and Prester John, along with his two sons and another choir member were all kilted, though Fr. John and I had our kilts under our cassocks for the liturgical portion of our stay at the fest!

Some of my ancestors were Convenanters -- two ministers named John Knox Williamson and John Calvin Williamson, to be exact! :mrgreen:

My church (Episcopalian) is very friendly to kilt-wearers; our local Scottish Society holds its annual St. Andrew's Day service there, and our rector was stationed at Holy Loch when he was in the Navy. I have worn my kilt when serving as a sub-deacon.

Mysticwolf: Point of clarification, but it is spelled Kirkin' -- no "e".

I've worn kilts to Mass whenever the mood strikes. This past Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday I wore my 8 yard MacDonald. I never heard any rumblings nor caught any strange glances. Nobody said a word directly to me including the Pastor when I left the church. I think he is just happy when he gets a full house and people show some respect for the Mass.
