“Will we give birth to
new traditions from old traditions? There is a world waiting to be born with an
identity in the divine community. We can rediscover our identity as children of
God. May something new be born from our traditions. May something new be born.”—
Rev.
Brian McLaren quoted by Mary Lee Talbot, “Morning Worship: Present Darkness Could Bring Forth New Birth, New Traditions, Preaches McLaren,” The
Chautauquan Daily, Aug. 22, 2025
