Significance of white in a tartan

[ShaunMaxwell]

Interesting to read the previous post from OCR. From a purely theoretical perspective, as religion of any sort is of no interest to me whatsoever. Are these various colours worn by all assorted Christian denominations, or by just some and worn at an appropriate time? I must say that I have never noticed when I have brushed shoulders with the clergy at weddings and so on. Perhaps its not a UK thing?

Now, back to kilts and tartans!

Jock:

I can’t speak with any authority on churches other than my own, but my impression is that it’s just by some, and those being the Catholic or churches whose services are similar to/derived from those of the Catholic church (i.e., Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, etc. in which the clergy wear vestments, etc.). The church my family attends derives from the Restoration Movement (which has its roots in Scotland, by the way) and is not “high church”, so none of this for us. Not likely be seen in evangelical or more fundamentalist churches.

Now back to kilts and tartans…

Cheers,
