	The Topmost Apple: Tradition Three (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A.A.'s Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which if practiced as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole.
		The Twelve Traditions weren't created and ratified until the 1950s, and were entirely empirical; they essentially described what A.A. had learned in the first 20 years, mainly from failure.
		Tradition Three is, to me, one of the most central and important of the principles of the Fellowship and has, I think, some relevence to what the Church - not only the Anglican Church - is going through today.
