“The church from its beginning has rightly grounded its thinking
in historical continuity with the word of God registered in,
for example, the canon of Scripture, liturgical tradition,
testimony, and dogma. Yet such historical grounding has been
fraught with problems, because invoking the past
(in terms of what Christians have thought, said,
practiced, decided, affirmed, and denounced)
has often been used in destructive ways
in the present. For Christians, the past is extremely important,
but what is far more important is how we deploy the past in order
to prescribe present and future actions.”
― Willie James Jennings, theologian
