Summary

A couple of days ago I was part of a meeting for a group that was trying to organize themselves into a fellowship rather than a bunch of meetings, that always brings the traditions to mind and it got me thinking about this. A really well done workshop conducted by Norma A on the 12 Traditions. The history of, and a detailed explanation of each tradition. This workshop was given in 2014 so it also has mention of social media. Repost from early 2017.
