We want you to engage in dialogue about this week's sermon. We welcome you to comment, share stories that relate to the sermon topic, ask questions and give us feedback. Your thoughts are welcome! Below you will find a summary of the sermon topic.

Scripture: Mark 7: 1-8, 14-15 and 21-23

Title: In Defense and Challenge of Tradition

Summary: The Gospel lesson has the Pharisees confronting Jesus concerning the lack of
observance of the traditions of cleanliness. Jesus, in turn, challenges
them on how their traditions have become their highest priority of
faithfulness to God. Traditions, in themselves, are not wrong or evil but they can become
problematic. This sermon explored the power and use,
and sometimes misuse, of traditions.

Thanks for participating!
