Kilts in Church,..your experience?

[Coemgen]

I've gone to Liturgy kilted several times, and my priest, who is of Irish descent, definitely approves and encourages the behavior.

Coemgen, I take it from your comments and the icon in your avitar that you are Orthodox. Where in Southern Ca are you? Which parish do you belong to?

It's definitely possible to make a (modest) prostration kilted. The trick is to be aware of where your backside is and what your pleats are doing. Take your time, and kneel with both knees together.


BTW, congratulations on your tonsure!

ICXC NIKA

Yes, I'm Eastern Orthodox. My family converted back when Fr. Peter Guilquist and all of those people came over (we're still good friends with Fr. Jon Braun). We originally went to St. Steven's in Cupertino, though they've now moved to Campbell, and we were there during the Ben Lomond Crisis (hopefully that was before your time - very ugly). We've since moved, and we now attend St. Anne in Pomona, which is under the Romanian Episcopate of the OCA.

And thank you. I still need a bit of work on my chanting, though.

I am planning to go kilted to church on some sort of regular basis, once I expand my collection of kilts, of which I have ordered two from Frugal Corner (if they ever arrive), and my dad is getting me a Utilikilt. I may need to stick to trousers for church, since my mom is, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about my obsession with kilts. I just want to keep the peace.
