Seriously: Most of us tip their cornflakes for breakfast (or similar) in the bowl and then pour milk over her, right?
other day I saw a milk carton, which my old-moved-way selbige pour radically challenged: the Milk suggested they pour rotated 180 ° ... The opening should therefore now be UP when they poured into the bowl. I thought, "Häää?" but tried it. And lo! Nothing spilled more, because the milk evenly throughout "spill" without came out. Cool!
fell a few weeks earlier to me that the corn flakes are usually very swollen when you get to the end of the bowl. Is also clear - they soak up so full of milk! So I tried something new: First the milk into the bowl, only then the cornflakes (because so many no longer fit in, so you have to nachkippen again after half bowl). Results: Crispy Flakes from start to finish! :)
Why I blog about such a mundane stuff? Because I think we are when it comes to church and community will be able to learn from these breakfast rituals.
There are many traditions and rituals that we do in our Christian churches that are not in and of itself bad - but it may be that if we change it, if we progress much better would our faith and community life? Sometimes traditions (not that they are "bad") are a hindrance or "improvable". If traditions and rituals long enough to be respected, they are suddenly the norm. Just as the pouring the milk with the opening down. Diverse traditions or modify even completely separate from them does not necessarily mean a deterioration.
I would encourage you to rethink traditions and develop new traditions even if that bring you closer to God than those whose meaning and content you do not quite understand. Not everyone will like new features - but if they see that your communities grow suddenly, abruptly, they will perhaps understand .. 
turning around the milk carton and pour first time a milk! It will not surprise people - but it can also set a new trend:)
