I line up somewhere between the "wear what you want" and the "ONLY YOUR CLAN!" groups so I have a question about appropriateness. I really like the "Clergy" tartan and since I cannot find any "Christian" tartans that I like I thought I would go this route for occasional church wear. I am not a clergyman by any means but I do serve in the church as a musician and do my best to be a good example as an ordinary man to the youth in our church. Would it be in "poor taste" to wear this tartan as a non-frocked but unofficial but respected "leader/server" in my church or is this a grey area that no one really cares about?

Mac Newsome wrote this in a blog:

"In the case of the Clergy tartan, wearing this will imply to people that you are involved in ministry. Out of respect for those who actually are ordained clergy, most people would consider it very inapropriate for a non-minister to wear this tartan."

But I wondered if those serving in the church without being ordained would be "appropriate" as well.

If said tartan WOULD be inapropriate are there any "Christian" tartans out there. I don't care for the "Mighty Men" tartan so that one's out.

Thanks,
Hugh
