Re: Clergy Kilt?
What is considered clergy in your denomination?
I am Roman Catholic and employed full-time by my Diocese as a campus minister at my local university, and also as a regional coordinator for the Faith Formation office in my local vicariate. I have earned a Masters Degree of Theology. I have compled my own diocesan lay ministry training program. I have served in my local parish as a cantor for years, and have also served as a catechist for adult education programs. I am technically considered a "Lay Ecclesial Minister."
Emphasis on the "Lay" part.....
I am not ordained. I am not considered clergy. I think the Clergy tartan is a wonderfully beautiful tartan. But I would never dream of wearing a kilt in it, despite all my many involvements in the Church, because I am not a member of the clergy and I respect those who are too much to wear something that I consider a privledge of that class to wear. (Much like I would never dream of wearing the Leatherneck tartan because I have never served in the USMC).
I will, however, admit to having a nice soft lambswool throw in the clergy tartan draped over the back of a chair in my office. :-) That's about as far as I will go in terms of personal display of that tartan.
