Why My Heritage Matters to Me

by Asher Witmer  - December 5, 2016

Everyone has a heritage. And everyone can easily see the faults of their heritage.

On this blog I like to look at issues that people don’t normally feel comfortable talking about publicly–the white elephant issues in the room, so to speak. One of the reasons I like doing this is because if we are to grow and become better than we must make the undiscussable discussable.

Many “undiscussables” are negative: people don’t like having faults pointed out.

At the same time, some undiscussables, especially when it comes to a heritage we see issues in, are quite positive: people are uncomfortable recognizing the qualities that, if let go of, could hurt them in the long run.

Throughout the month of December 2016, I’m going to share the ten most-read posts of this year. Number ten actually wasn’t even published in 2016, but remains one of my most-read posts.

Here’s to 11 Simple Values I Appreciate from My Anabaptist Heritage. If you haven’t read it, take a look and leave a comment.
