Reason, whose reason?, Tradition, whose Tradition?

Anglicanism is now reaping the consequences of its inherent self-contraditions.

Reason? God gave us brains. It's safe to say He expects us to use them. When electric lights arrived, it was seen as perfectly reasonable to use them to light the church. There is no Biblical mandate to use electric lights and there certainly wasn't any tradition (in anyone's church) of using electric lights. The same could be said of air conditioning.

Tradition? When addressing an issue, it's important to learn if anyone in the Church has dealt with the problem before. Did their solution work? Would it work here? I have come across too many Evangelical types who think and act as though Pentecost happened 50 years ago.
