Donuel, I don't know folks of those traditions well enough myself to agree, exactly, but I can tell you this-- I am very grateful that the Anglican tradition I found my way into some years ago is based on a "three-legged stool" of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. The legs are considered equal, and it's really wonderful how keeping the three in balance (of equal length and strength) in one's personal and corporate spiritual life tends to push one to places one might otherwise never go.

These days, I lead a seminar group using special discussion tools to explore those three legs separately and together; we also
explore how these four areas affect all aspects of our lives and beliefs: Culture, Tradition & Scripture; Action, and Personal Position. This has opened new windows for members of our group, several of whom were raised in strict denominations not encouraging lots of thinking among the membership!
