Though there may be a more traditional outlook in Melbourne, which is where I stayed. <br /><br />And Australia has the Red Ochre Men who represent a very ancient tradition indeed.Alice C.

I think we're mistrusting of authority, which partially stems from our country's origins as a penal settlement. Because of injustices perpetrated upon indigenous people, we're also made to feel that our past is something to be ashamed of, which is expressed in the way history is taught in our schools. This is to say nothing of most of the mainstream media, which tries to condition us to be "forward thinking" and "progressive." In short, I think despising tradition is endemic in Western culture.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827731848618933239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-2386565284118682732010-04-17T10:51:01.884-07:002010-04-17T10:51:01.884-07:00Exactly the question we should be asking!
Before ...Exactly the question we should be asking!<br /><br />Before we can effectively communicate Holy Tradition, we must know what it is. We must be prepared to show that our Faith originates with the promise made in Gen. 3:15 which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, about whom the Creeds speak truth. And we must be very humble in communicating the Tradition since we are speaking of something holy. We also must be selective about who we share it with, since we are not to cast pearls before swine.Alice C.
