The godless church is dying. Europe is a mission field for believers whether catholic or evangelical. It is wide open.

High Church /non-Evangelical Protestantism has a rich and glorious heritage and is the de-facto official religion in most Northern European countries.

The problem with Evangelicalism is that its lack of traditions make it too divorced from the histories and cultures of these places. And Europe right now needs to recover both.

Traditions of themselves are neither bad or good. But they do need to be tested. Let me repeat that, THEY NEED TO BE TESTED. What is Jesus saying here:

(Matthew 15:3) Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?

(Matthew 15:6) In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition.

So what is Jesus saying? You could interpret as all traditions are bad OR that they need to be TESTED WITH GOD DIRECT WORD.”

If you are speaking of worldly traditions, never mind...……….

Christianity doesn't need to have historical or cultural ties to an area to grow. If that were the case Christianity would not be able to grow anywhere other than the Eastern Med or parts of Europe.

Scripture does not change.....however Roman Catholic "tradition" has, does and will change again.
