…will be very much like the old one. From Amy Welborn:
There is wisdom in tradition.
Traditional practices grew out of human experience — human experiences of joy, sorrow, difficulty and challenge. Human experiences of trying to obey Christ, bring his presence into the world as it is — in peace, war, plenty, famine, health and disease. I wrote a bit about this earlier here. Yes, tradition and traditional practices are always subject to reform and development. But it helps if, as we reform, we keep the wisdom of the tradition in mind and are realistic about life in this world as well.
Short version: Maybe they knew what they were doing, after all.
