    As a churchman with a fair amout of experience here, I would advise that this is semi formal, the equivalent of a suit and tie, definitely not tuxedo. That said, different congregations have a different worship culture when it comes to attire, but wearing either Argyll, black or tweed, with a tie will suit no matter what the climate. Dress sporran if you like plus flashes and you should be a welcome addition to the entire worship experience.

    I would wear the Argyle as well, but I would go with a black or gray rather than your brown tweed. From my background, the brown is too casual/informal for a church service.

    My inclination would be the Argyle and tie. I second the advice to ask your brother for clarification on what they are wanting. While the PC may be a bit over dressed, for a special occasion at church I'd not think it out of place. True to the theme of different worship cultures I was always taught to wear your best to church to honor God. I wouldn't wear my PC each time I went to church but would wear an Argyle. For weddings, funerals, or baptisms I'd go with the family's wishes.

    YMOS,
    Tony

    I totally agree, the only problem is that I don't have a gray or black Argyle ah well I guess its back to the tartan shop.

    I don't know if I agree with that or not. A nice brown "country gent" outfit would be appropriate. I've seen it done before.

    Don't be afraid to tell your brother that you think the Argyll is more appropriate. He'll probably agree.

    Sounds like your brother is adjusting to your kilt wearing. Good for him! Congratulations on the Christening.
