Sweeeeeet!

I've gone to Liturgy kilted several times, and my priest, who is of Irish descent, definitely approves and encourages the behavior.

Coemgen, I take it from your comments and the icon in your avitar that you are Orthodox. Where in Southern Ca are you? Which parish do you belong to?

It's definitely possible to make a (modest) prostration kilted. The trick is to be aware of where your backside is and what your pleats are doing. Take your time, and kneel with both knees together.


BTW, congratulations on your tonsure!

No problems here.

Here in western NC all the Presbyterian churches I've attended are still very conscious of their Scots heritage. Several local churches have yearly Kirkin' services, for instance.
The folks at the Presbyterian chapel we attend have seen me in nothing but a kilt for almost two years, which means that newer members have never seen me wearing pants. Like Sputnik said, I only get questioned if I'm not kilted.

Which Presbyterian church do you attend? I am Vice Chairman of Deacons @ Malvern Hills PCA.

(Sorry about not making it to Jack 'O the Wood last week. Family emergency. Perhaps next week).

I'd be floored if there was ever a problem in a Presbyterian church. Church is, right now, 1 of 3 places I am not kilted. My game plan is to start attending social functions in a kilt. Then start attending church that way.

I wear a kilt to church about one Sunday out of 4. It's a common enough thing that nobody much notices anymore. I did get some good natured ribbing the first couple of times, but that's about it.

I did wear one to a wedding reception once and got a lot of looks. I was worried about upstaging the bride but she liked it. In fact, just a couple a weeks ago I was at another wedding reception where she was in the line to greet the new bride and groom and she asked me where my kilt was. She was dissapointed that I didn't wear one to this wedding too.

I think wearing a kilt to church is a good thing. The more you wear it, the more of a non-issue it becomes, and I've had a lot of people tell me that they like to see me in one.

Nearly every week... and I'm a member of a Quaker Church! Nobody says anything except to comment (positively) or question about the tartan...

[McFarkus]

this year on St. Andrew's Day - once they're used to it, I'll probably wear it often.
