    Another slant would be if your local church is named after someone/thing with a tartan.

    Like the local Episcopal church here is named St. David's. But I've been unsuccessful so far in getting the padre to adopt the St. David's tartan - even for a necktie or scarf...maybe one day.

    unfortunately, its name is Crestview Presbyterian Church. (www.crestpres.org)

    I will talk with my youth pastor and see what I can work out.

    Boy, that is a tough one.

    Have you considered the Ohio state tartan which has the same red, white, and blue that your church uses? Would give it a double meaning.

    That was also my first thought. "Black Watch Presbyterian" could prove to be economical.
