Wednesday's thoughts

Tradition

What is the value of tradition?
I think it does two things for us. It reminds us that it didn't begin with us. It tells us that it didn't end with them.

I think it is important to value tradition but it is also important to understand that we have a role to play in the expansion of tradition. We will want to listen to the voices of the past. We will want to pay attention to the things that have been but we don't want to be slaves to tradition even as we honor it.

What about tradition should be held? What should be left behind?
