A young pastor, while leading a congregation, ran into a problem. During a Friday evening worship service, an argument broke out among the church members. During the prayer, half of the congregation stood while the other half sat. And both sides claimed that they were in the right, maintaining that they upheld the church tradition. No matter how hard the pastor tried to mediate, he could not bring both sides together. Not able to solve this problem, the young pastor decided to pay a visit to one of the founding members of a church, a 99-year old man, at the nursing home. The pastor told the old man the problem that he was having within the church. “Is it this church’s tradition to stand during prayer?” “No.” “Then, sitting is the tradition.” “No, sitting also isn’t the church tradition.” “If neither is the church tradition, then what is? During prayer, about half of the congregation stands, shouting at those who are sitting, while the other half sits, jeering at those who are standing. Which is the tradition?” “Pastor, what you just described is our tradition. During prayer, we have always fought!”
