Surprised by Doubt
A Public Forum with Dr. Richard Beck & Dr. Joshua Chatraw on Faith and Doubt
Are you surprised that you or your loved ones have begun to struggle with doubt and unbelief? That what was once rock solid and assured is showing signs of fragmentation and the road back is uncertain?
Then please join us for an honest discussion about faith and doubt. Doubt doesn’t have to be the end of faith. In fact, it can be the beginning of a journey to a deeper faith – that is, if you understand what to do in the face of doubt. Is it a question of more evidence or something richer?
Dr. Richard Beck, professor and author, and Dr. Joshua Chatraw, executive director of the Center for Public Christianity and theologian-in-residence at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, will reflect on the possibility of a deeper faith after doubt. A Q&A will follow.
This forum is a part of the Center for Public Christianity’s 2022-2023 series, Flourishing in a Broken World.
