Evangelicals discover dirty word: Tradition!!!

This is a really interesting article on the Christianity Today site about Evangelicals discovering and embracing the richness of their Christian heritage. Just thought I'd recommend it and was wondering if anyone on Jude2 had been poking around in the attic of the faith to see what they might have overlooked or been made ignorant of.

Warning: it goes into a lot of the history so it's lengthy.

article wrote:"The sons and daughters of modernity are rediscovering the neglected beauty of classical Christian teaching. It is a moment of joy, of beholding anew what had been nearly forgotten, of hugging a lost child."

Amen.

This is, of course, not exactly a new impulse, especially among Pentecostal Holiness types. You might find this article interesting Chris. I happened across it a couple of years ago while researching our Sanctification doctrines. It's what first turned my eyes eastward.
