Archbishop of the Anglican Church Says It's Acceptable to Have Doubt, and Still Be a Christian

Posted in: ,

Some are coming for his head but I totally agree with the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby who has said he sometimes has doubts in his belief in God.

In an interview with BBC,  Bristol the leader of the Church of England said he doubted in “lots of different ways”. When asked about doubt by presenter Lucy Tegg, he said:

“It is a really good question. I love the Psalms, if you look at Psalm 88 that’s full of doubt. There are moments, sure, when you think, ‘Is there a God?’ ‘Where is God?'”

“The other day I was praying over something as I was running, and I ended up saying to God ‘look this is all very well, but isn’t it about time you did something, if you’re there?’

“Which is probably not what the Archbishop of Canterbury should say.”

The archbishop has recently completed a tour of the West Country and made his comments at an event called Standing Room Only at Bristol Cathedral.

Infertility, Bravery, Building Networks of Support

Posted in: , , , ,

Sometimes the unfairness of my infertility bugs me and I am tempted to compare. Why is that teenager having a child after just one sexual encounter and after years of loving sex with my husband, I can't? How could that 60 years old woman who did IVF in South Africa have had twins and I had a failed IVF? Atala and I had been pretty decent human beings, so why did we have to suffer this delay and difficulty is building our family?
