This month, we will explore the potential, beauty, and vulnerability of Divine Doubt. As the old adage goes, the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. A willingness to explore and examine doubt alongside faith adds layers of richness to the mystery that certainty eliminates. Exploring divine doubt as a pathway to becoming and to a higher, deeper expression of love charts a path of Divine expression through surrender to vulnerability and a trusting of the Universal process.
This Sunday, May 17th, our topic is “Carrying Our Doubt Together”. We will explore the doubts which we share amongst one another as part of our shared unconscious, the power and possibility of these collective doubts, and what transformations can sharing and exploring these doubts bring?
