We will meet to discuss Part Two of Brian McLaren’s book Faith After Doubt. Please feel welcome to join this lively discussion whether or not you have read the book or were at the earlier discussion on Part One.

Led by Elder Pam Nomura: Pam currently serves as Clerk of Session for Westhope. Pam has retired from her profession as a dentist.

“McLaren’s book resonated with my own spiritual journey and helped me start to reconcile traditional Christian teachings with my own inner source of wisdom and truth. I hope others will join me in a conversation about their own faith stories.”

Book Description:

“Using his own story and the stories of a diverse group of struggling believers, Brian D. McLaren, a former pastor and now an author, speaker, and activist shows how old assumptions are being challenged in nearly every area of human life, not just theology and spirituality. He proposes a four-stage model of faith development in which questions and doubt are not the enemy of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith.

The four stages―Simplicity, Complexity, Perplexity, and Harmony―offer a path forward that can help sincere and thoughtful people leave behind unnecessary baggage and intensify their commitment to what matters most.” [Amazon]
