    Christmas season is coming up.
    At church we have a Christmas Eve night service.
    On this special service, most people dress up. For the most part, people are casual/business casual. I normally wear blue jeans with a nice plaid long sleeve shirt.
    I texted our pastor the other day about the idea. I have yet to hear back. Just a few weeks ago he preached on crossdressing and alternate life styles, and how it aligns with biblical principles. I let him know some of my heritage and how the kilt is a male garment, and how it is different from a woman's skirt.
    We are a non-denominational Bible Church, that leans towards Baptist if it matters.
    I want to wear it, but at the same time, I don't want to be a spectacle, and distract others from why we are really there.
    No one else has ever worn a kilt to church before (we are part of the original church plant). I'm sure there are some that have Celtic backgrounds, but don't show it.
    Thanks for any input.

    There are several of us at St. Mary's Anglican here in Windsor who go kilted to kirk on many Sundays. The upcoming Feast of St. Andrew, 30-NOV-2019, (and the First Sunday of Advent, 1-DEC) means kilted at The Friend's of the Bishop Reception on Saturday and kilted at kirk on Sunday. Wear it like you were born in it!

    I'm a conservative Christian in a independent church, and I wear a kilt on high holidays as it helps fellow attendees to follow the traditional church calendar (which isn't given much attention in independent protestant churches). St. Andrews day is usually very near the first Sunday of Advent, so I wear heritage of Scotland (Purple being an advent color). For Christmas Eve, I wear my clan Keith kilt in modern colors (dark green/blue). Then for Easter I wear the Freedom tartan as it is pastel colors. I've never received any negative comments. They are either very positive, or asking which tartan is that again?
    Wear it if you want. If the pastor or church council tell you it is inappropriate, don't do it again.
    That is my 2 cents worth.
