John Stott on Tradition and Scripture

"The Reformers taught the supremacy of Scripture over tradition. And Reformed Churches still do, including the Anglican Church. It is often said that the Anglican Church has a three-fold authority -- Scripture, tradition, and reason. But this is not so. To be sure, tradition and reason have a vital role to play in the elucidation of Scripture. But what shall we do when Scripture, tradition, and reason are in conflict? The answer is that Scripture has supreme authority."
