Pagan Christianity

I have started reading the book Pagan Christianity and it is an interesting read which causes one to think and reexamine one's practices. The question that the book presses for an answer is, does it really matter how we practice our faith. What if our perspectives, rules, traditions and practices hinder our development of our faith? If so, would you be willing to do away with those traditions which serve as barriers that keep us from encountering the living God? It is much easier to start with a clean slate when starting a church rather than changing. So I think it will help all of us as we look at the church and our traditions and practices.
As you read through, I welcome your comments. I have books available at the church. Come by and pick one up or email me and we can work out a time to meet to get you the book.

Question for you. How much weight do you give tradition in the church today? In your church?
