Should we reject tradition as a source of truth?

Due to the division between the Protestants and the Catholics it is easy to condemn tradition because it is something that "only Catholics follow". Tradition can a be a rich and interesting thing to study; why throw out the baby with the bath water? Although most evangelical Christians adhere to sola scriptura (the view that the Bible is the only source of infallibility) this does not mean that Church tradition is not a source for truth. The early church fathers wrote great things about God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are well worth the read, but are almost avoided by Protestants because of their "Catholic ties". Did you know that at one point to be Christian was to be Catholic? Being Catholic simply meant "worldwide" or "united". You can now say the Nicene creed without feeling guilty! In my opinion we should not reject tradition, as there are many things to be learned from it.
