Thanks for the opinions, all. I've pretty much decided to wear a kilt to All Saints service this Sunday. All Saints is all about connecting with the dead and departed, one's ancestors, and the saints and heroes of the church: many of these, in the Anglican and Episcopalian tradition, were kilted (consider the Samuel Seabury tartan, named after the first American Episcopal bishop). And so I am going for it. I understand and respect the motive of not wanting to draw attention away from the mass, but in this case a kilt is not as much a gesture of self-expression, but a nod of respect to tradition and one's forebearers, those who have gone before. I feel it fits the occasion.
