My understanding of the OP was that the "Christian Tartan" referred to the design, spirit, and idea for a new tartan, not the actual name itself. But, I could be wrong. I don't see any reason to rush this process at all. If it is done, we should take our time and do it right.
I agree in full.

Sorry for the delay. I was away on vacation. Your explanation of my reasons are quite sound mookien. I wanted a group effort for design and cost reasons. Also I felt that for one man alone to design a tartan based on the basic tenaments of Christian faith seemed a tad arrogant without the input of fellow believers.

In the end however, this project did not get nearly the support I was looking for to move forward. While I thank everyone for your input and advice and I do not want to stifle discussion on ANY topic in the future, I would ask folks to re-read the original message. That was where I stated that the question put forth was not whether you thought this was a good idea or not. That was not what I wanted to get into at all. I think we could have avoided alot of unnecessary back and forth on the overproliferation of tartans, the branding of a tartan on behalf of a group, why people thought it was a bad idea, at least one message of complaint being sent to the mods, etc.

Again, not a complaint just a suggestion that we could have stayed a bit more on topic. I, personally enjoyed the discussion and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/holidays and will have a great new year. I now consider this discussion closed.

All the best,
Hugh
