Doylestown Scottish Communion - July 18th

[macwilkin]

The service I played at used prayers from the Scottish Prayer Book throughout. There was no actual kirking of tartans, although they had sashes for the church officials to wear.

Interesting...I wonder if it was from the Kirk's Book of Common Order, or the Scottish Episcopal Book of Common Prayer?

I use the term "Kirkin' of the Tartans" to describe the whole service, and not just the act of blessing tartans, since the originator of said service, The Rev. Peter Marshall of the NY Ave. Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. referred to the service that way.

It was Presbyterian church, so not Episcopal. I'll try to find the booklet

we may never know the detail of a Scottish Communion service.

My date cancelled, I was running late. Since I was kilted I decided to go to Horsham for a celtic festival there. Of the 250 websites mentioning the festibal, I read the one that said Sunday, missing the 249 sites that correctly said Saturday.

Gardened in the kilt instead
