Traditional openness: tradition is a living thing.

October 8, 2014

Dear Friends,

So, how much do we need to know our own traditions in order to assess how well they can respond to our present reality?

Extraordinarily well.  
Better than almost any of us know them.

And how open do we need to be to new ideas, fresh approaches, innovative ways of carrying out the mission received from Christ?

Wide open.

Absolutely wide open.

Ruling nothing out before it has been tested well.
