Tradition like icons is a perceptual gateway, if you stop at tradition you have idolatry. If you cross over through tradition you will meet and join the glorious throng of Apostles casting down their crowns at the Cross (Revelation 4:10) - we are all numbered with the apostles - mission does not recognise creed, colour, title or station only calling and we are all called - we are all being sent out into the wild places (the world) for the sake of his glory.
