Doubt as a Sign of Faith


A few weeks ago, the Archbishop of Canterbury said about doubt,
"Yes. I do. In lots of different ways really. It's a very good question. That means I've got to think about what I'm going to say. Yes I do...I love the Psalms, if you look at Psalm 88, that's full of doubt."
For some, it seemed like blasphemy.  For most, myself included, it was an honest response.

Read this article:

I found it to be a good article and quite refreshing.  She is right.  Doubt is a sign of faith.

(The opposite of faith is not doubt but fear.)
