Missed Opportunity at Church

[ronstew]

I don't wear my kilt to church because it is not a venue where I believe it appropriate to draw attention to myself. After a while it would stop being novel, but I don't want to force that transition period on everybody.

Some of the churches I go to I wouldn't stand out kilted or naked!
The women wear "saris" beautiful indian garment in a wild variety of colors.Kilts would fit right in.

...Kilts would fit right in.

Amen, brother!

The church I attend was started by a bunch of Jesus Freaks in the 70s & is still very freak friendly. Hair of any length, style or color? No problem! Body art & piercings? Welcome! And clothing is not an issue as long as it's not suggestive or contains offensive comments. (Though wearing a suit & tie would be considered very weird! )

When it's my turn to sing with the worship team up in front of the church (as I will next Sunday), my kilt fits right in & only gets compliments. In fact, another gent has started wearing a kilt & others are seriously thinking about it. It's a great feeling to help others see the light!

Where I went to church today there were two kilted guys. We were both wearing UK Mockers.

Wow, same thing happened at my church, Phil!

Can I get a witness? Why am I sitting here singing? O'Neille

If you've not done so already, check out the article Graham has written on Christians and Kilts.

I thought I'd mention it because the Articles tend to get overlooked.

yes Ron, that's the same view as the friend I mentioned. I absolutely respect that view, but sorry, for myself I cannot agree.

You rightly point out that soon the kilt would be unnoticed, you might find that period to be quite short.
Whatever you are comfortable with. Jesus didn't stand out either, it took Judas to point Him out in the garden.

It depends on the church I guess too, as it's been said, some are diverse culturally speaking, others are conservative.
Causing no offense should be a priority.

Out of interest: Last week I preached about Patrick, Columcille and the early celtic saints, so my love for celtic things is well known and the kilt fits that well.
