Great article! It made me think of a book I have been reading: "Faith After Doubt" by Brain McLaren. He shares about different stage of faith and spiritual growth that we cycle through and the necessity of doubt in moving us from one stage to the next.

Doubt is an integral part in the journey of faith. Faith communities should be a place to embrace doubts, questions, and struggle, allowing for an evolution of our beliefs. We each need a place where we can include the best of what has gone before while also transcending the errors, misunderstandings, and mistakes of the past.

Thanks for sharing this!

I was a pastor for 14 years. Now that I have left the church, I love connecting with others who are reimagining their faith for a better world!
