I do hope to be accused of the same!  I do not rely too much on
extra-Biblical sources.  While I definitely use study aids in my
preparation, I am afraid I don't accept non-Cannonical materials as a
primary source for my growth.  I might read the Gospel of Thomas, to know
what it says or something.  I just couldn't cannonize it.
