"common experience sheweth, that where a change hath been made of things advisedly established (no evident necessity so requiring) sundry inconveniences have thereupon ensued; and those many times more and greater than the evils, that were intended to be remedied by such change"
"Yet so, as that the main Body and Essentials of it (as well in the chiefest materials, as in the frame and order thereof) have still continued the same unto this day, and do yet stand firm and unshaken, notwithstanding all the vain attempts and impetuous assaults made against it, by such men as are given to change, and have always discovered a greater regard to their own private fancies and interests, than to that duty they owe to the publick."
The Book of Common Prayer (1662), The Preface
Such is human nature. This is why we might add to the body of AA literature, on the margins, with, say, new pamphlets on specific topics, but we do not change the Big Book. It is good as it stands, and change would almost certainly generate more evils than it remedies. Secondly: beware the noisy advocates of change, with their 'greater regard to their own private fancies and interests'. Thirdly: we have a duty to everyone to preserve the AA message as it stands and not to water down, alter, diminish, or add to it to fit in with fashion or each passing wave of ideology, and certainly not to yield to bullying grievance-mongers.
