I don't think it's our work as a community to uncritically hold up the traditions, whether they're from scripture, or the people who taught us as children, or whatever I say from the pulpit. That's not our job as a church. I also think it's not our job as a church to step entirely away from those, to assume that that wisdom has no blessing for us, to be unwilling to wrestle like Jacob wrestling the angel, until we get a blessing, even if we come out wounded.
