It seems to me that most Protestants are always (or usually) looking for something fresh and new in what God is saying and doing in the world. What is the latest trend, the latest technique?
Catholics and Orthodox on the other hand are always (or often) celebrating the past of what God has done. What are the traditions we need to hold on to?
We need each other to maintain the balance! Perhaps that's what God has had in mind all the time.

Being Perturbed
A friend shared with me one of the secrets about learning. Real "cellular" learning occurs under pressure or when you stand in the heat. It's called "perturbation." Whe we are perturbed we put ourselves outside our comfort zone -- that is when we can make quantum leaps in our ability to be resourceful, dealing with the complexities related to things like our relationships and finances.
In 1977, the Nobel prize for chemistry was given to Ilya Prigogine, a Russian physicist wsho actually discovered that perturbation is how nature actually grows. Science again proving in specific what we sense generally.
Learning comes from the willingness to push where few dare to go. Rather than running from the "heat" in our lives -- look for it and jump into it!!
Life at the boundaries is where growth happens.
