Such as people in Adrian come to Homecoming bonfire&#8230; it&#8217;s a good tradition because it works. If there comes a time when traditions stop fulfilling their purpose though, they become bad. If bonfire was no longer used for getting up for the game and showing school spirit, but became a sacrafice of real rival team players, then it would be bad. MariaComing from a tradition that is very, well, traditional, and in fact regularly uses the BCP for worship I gotta say that tradition is a SMASH (as opposed to Trash&#8211;Ahh, FM radio). Anyway, one of the things was was leary about coming to the ACC was the contemporary worship service. Now I actually enjoy it. As Danny said, this kind of tradition and ritual is great for promoting Christian unity. As long as the tradition doesn&#8217;t become more important than loving God and neighbor (and as Maria points out, as long as it doesn&#8217;t involve human sacrifice), I think it&#8217;s great.Mat</p> Tradition
