My first Kilt article.

**ABG0819** · 27th April 14, 09:07 AM

I do a bit of amature writting, and recently (a few months ago) a friend of mine asked me to contribute some articles to a Christian blog he moderates.

This is one of my articles for The Sheep Below.
http://thesheepbelow.blogspot.com/20...t-to-kilt.html

The idea of the blog is that Christian people of all walks of life (both clergy, lay teachers, and even some of us regular people) can submit articles on any aspect of Christian life that intrest them. My first series of articles was on physical security in churches. My next series is going to be on Christian warriors, both ancient and modern. The kilt article was a bit of a filler between series but I may write another kilt related article later.

I wonder if this is the first time Mr. Stewart was bested by a man in a skirt?
Well written.

Well written and well presented. Good on you.

The critic appears as many "thundering" critics, claiming ultimate understanding of Scripture as (his) their own. Sad.

'Wonder if "out of respect" for his views, NO WOMAN in his family owns any jeans, trousers cargo pants or tee shirts?

More likely, in this opinion, when this particular storms up to them (and any other female so clad)...

...the more polite ladies so addressed, daintily tell the critic to go pound sand up....

I hope your apparent frustration is not with me or my article, Father Bill.

Graham, you'd probably be interested in the current issue (April May) of Tactical World Magazine. They have an extensive article on the same subject. Slant is for law enforcement officers but also for padres and the congregation.

Congrats on the blog article!

Not in the least! I just have a real problem with "stupid" and the guy you replied to bought an extra lorrie-load of that!

As a student of costume and maker of cloth and clothing, I sometimes wonder at the bravery of the first man to cut into a piece of woven cloth to shape it to something other than a rectangle.

All rectangular based clothing - the kilt, the English smock, the sari, the poncho, the sarong and many other garments around the world - is the basic form of clothing for the climate and society in which it was worn. Even trousers seem to have begun as a strip of fabric worn wrapped around the legs and drawn up to the waist front and back but open at the sides. Strips of leather or cords appear to have been used to secure the garments close to the body for warmth or ease of movement.

I have read the article about sinful kilts a couple of times - mostly because it is so unbelievable. I am glad that someone has made such a good answer to it.
