Thanks guys and ladies!
Oops...to those that do not speak presbytese it means that I am officially a pastoral intern. How the steps go is:
member --> undercare --> license --> ordained --> life of anger and frustration...
Only half kidding on the last step. During the presbytery meeting they showed us a powerpoint presentation on the two most prevalent emotions the teaching elders experience but never show publicly.
I am one step closer to becoming a military chaplain and I have excited and frightened out of socks at the same time. "yoohoo!!" AND "gulp!!!" It's a  +  |

I suspect that it has something to do with ecclesiastical heraldry. Quote: |
In the seventeenth century the use of the ecclesiastical hat for the lower ranks of the Church became, as it has since remained, fairly universal. The ecclesiastical hat is low, flat, wide-brimmed, and depending from either side are cords and tassels. Though usually referred to as tassels, they are sometimes termed houppes or fiocci. Originally the number of tassels was indeterminate, the natural consequence of the exclusive use of the hat by cardinals; there are even examples to be found in which no tassels are shown, the strings of the hat being simply knotted. But in early representations six tassels on either side are most usually to be found, these being arranged in three rows containing one, two, and three tassels respectively. In later times, with the extension of the use of the ecclesiastical hat, differentiation was made both in the color and in the number of the tassels, but in attempting to make use of such differentiation it should be remembered that even after an established rule and usage had come into being adhesion thereto was far from being universal.
| A "woot" might be like the "houppes" or "fiocci" on the ecclesiastical hat. Either that or maybe it is connected to the ecclesiastical mitre, existing in three forms, termed respectively pretiosa, auriferata, and simplex.
But being just another ignorant Baptist, I wouldn't know a "woot" from a "crozier," which some foolish folks often confuse with the processional cross. Everyone knows that it is the pastoral staff!
Oh well. When we get done "axing" our people to accept Jesus during the singing of the 32nd stanza of "Just as I Am," maybe we can inquire of our more literate liturgical brethren as to what a "woot" is. They don't say that Presbyterians do everything "decently and in order" for nothing.
