Get a load, fellas. One of the fathers is making tartan vestments for the priests. And check out the tongue in cheek cartoon on the right! Gotta love it. Cassock and all!!!

That would be St. Michael & All Angels parish (Episcopal) in Inverness. I have spoken to said rector in question a couple of times via e-mail. He also comissioned a special ale for the re-dedication of a new steeple -- "St. Michael's Steeple Ale".

Cheers,

Our pastor was wearing something very similar to this last sunday, the vestment was in the clergy blue tartan. I don't know where he got it, but it was the first time I had seen him wearing it. I'll have to ask him.

A new trend among the clergy!

The banner beneath the cartoon causes me the most concern.

Hey kilt wearer's aren't the only ones who go regimental. (That's what I heard)

Actually, I'd love to get a sash to wear around my cassock in a tartan.

That, the sash, is not uncommon among Orthodox clergy.

A friend of mine wears several hand woven ones from Guatemala.

I think tartan would fit in well.

Vestments, though? It'd be a stretch.

Father, Bless!

I believe Mrs. Black is making clerical stoles in tartan (or at least with tartan background) rather than a cassock, etc. -- That staggers the imgaination, a tartan cassock!

Personally, I think they look extremely sharp!

Just to clarify, his sash is woven, not the cassock. I think a tartan sash would work well. I don't wear one, but I'm tempted now.

I feel bad for the clergy who no longer/never wear cassocks as a part of their ecclesiastical street clothes. It's a great uniform.

Hmmm, cassocks in tartan.....bleaugh!

I can only imagine the response from the more traditionalist camps, Father, to a cassock in a tartan! Eeeep!
