Addai replied to joanne guarnieri's discussion 'Sacred Tradition versus tradition'

Hi Joanne, I was thinking about this at work at my graveyard shift job and thought I would add or qualify a bit more. Tradition are the things the ancient churches have in common in belief, practice etc. But there are traditons that can be like "...
