"We must be constantly aware of our responsibility in the Communion of Saints, without giving our honored predecessors the final say or making them an 'alternative source,' independent of scripture itself...The challenge of living with tradition is not so much, as in official Roman Catholic understandings, that one should let tradition and scripture flow together straightforwardly into a single stream, but that tradition should be allowed to be itself; that is, the living voice of the very human church as it struggles with scripture, sometimes mis-understanding it and sometimes gloriously getting it right. That is why the challenge comes fresh to each generation. Tradition tells us where we have come from. Scripture itself is a better guide as to where we should now be going." - N.T. Wright, The Last Word, pg. 119
