Traditions and Today's Youth

I was listening to a Mark Driscoll message on a run recently and heard him say something pretty close to this and yesterday I posted it on Twitter (I can’t find the original talk to verify the exact quote):

Every church needs to decide if it will embrace its traditions or its kids. Most churches choose traditions and lose their kids.

Now and then those of you who don’t use Twitter miss out on things (don’t worry, I used to be a Twitter hater too) and I don’t want you to miss out on this.

It was interesting to see people from varying opinions react to the quote.

I’m curious what you think though:

Do you think the quote is true?

Do you think it is possible to have some traditions and still reach today’s kids?
