Not to be marked: Isaiah thinks about Liturgy.

Since last class I've been thinking about liturgy and tradition within evangelicalism.

I made the mistake of saying "most" instead of "some" when talking about the lectionary in EMCC churches. I was corrected that a lot do not, even though I still maintain there are some (at the very least, my church has). Because of this I began to wonder and reflect on the role of tradition within evangelicalism. Are we anti-traditional?

I don't think so. I think we are not aware that we have traditions.

I don't make that claim heavily, but observationally. It seems that we do have traditions. Traditions for Christmas eve services, youth retreats, "Harvest" parties and even what songs we sing, what we say after we read scripture, how much scripture we read etc. It of course is less offficial and more flexible than the RCC or mainline protestants, never the less there is tradition. The difference is, at least what I see, is not only in flexibility but also awareness.
