    going to church

    Ok I am reading everyone's replys my big question is where are all at I'm in the US and wonder how many resonders are in the USA ? I think in the
    big city churches one could go kilted. I have not tried it at my church
    with 400 plus and I am on stage for choir for service I have not had the
    guts to try going kilted.

    This is the key statement!

    Have courage! Go for it! If too timid, try a special Scottish day for your first time!

    Aye James, that's the proper dress for most sweat lodges.

    Out here, the Dine' (Navajo) are a bit more modest and wear cotton shorts with no metal in their "church."

    For what it's worth, I wasn't the only one kilted in church this morning. Yes a second guy was wearing a UK Mocker (I was in my 5 yd Braveheart if anyone cares). I didn't ask why he was kilted, but I think the local Celtic festival may have been a factor. There is another guy who keeps saying he is going to wear a kilt to church as well, but keeps having excuses for not.

    Apparently it's been too long since I wore a kilt to church. Today my priest asked why he hadn't seen me in one lately.

    Today, it had alot to do with the fact that it was windy enough that a tree outside out church dropped one of its secondary trunks (approx 12-15 inches in diameter, and roughly 15-20 feet long... It took five of us to move it) directly onto the roof of a parishoner's new truck! Can you imagine how embarrasing that would have been?!?!

    I just want you know how much self control I am using not answering your question? There are so many possible answers, I don't know where to start.
