Kilts in Church

[James MacMillan]

Just remember; whatever anyone says about the Kilt;
Jesus and the Apostles never,EVER wore pants.

The only one you have to please is your creator. If church members don't like the kilt or say something rude, should they be there anyway. Do what you think is best. I did.

AMEN!

How true!!

I wear a kilt to church pretty regularly and in all the times I"ve done it, I've received only one negative comment. That was from a 7-year old girl who was cranky 'cause her mother had just given her what-for for doing something...I don't even know what. I do get the impression that my Scottish friends David and Doreen think it's all a bit of a poser-act, but they've never actually said anything. I note that David never, ever wears a kilt, though David Jr. owns one.

In fact, I even wear them to Etz Hayim, the Jewish Temple were my klezmer band is based out of. Nobody bats an eye.

However, historians and archaeologists have come to the conclusion that he probably did wear knitwear.

I normally wear mine to church about once a month. I've never had anything but good comments. Oh, I've had the ususal razzing about "where's my bagpipes" and such, but it's all just joking among friends.
Wear it with dignity and respect and all should be well.

Home woven cloth most likely; Poor Mary: "Hurry up with that robe, Mom, I've got the Sermon on the mount in two hours!"

I should find that article, it is analyzing a passage talking about how the roman soldiers didn't just cut up his robe and divide it between them as was common and instead gambling for it, something about being made in one piece without seams... I wish I could remember where.
