Low Sunday

From Maggi Dawn:

It's Low Sunday. One week on from Easter. Traditionally the day when we remember Thomas, the disciple who doubted.

It isn't true, but many in the Church seem to believe that doubt is the antithesis of faith. In fact, the opposite of faith is not doubt, but unbelief.

"Dubious questioning", wrote Coleridge, "is a much better evidence than that senseless deadness which most take for believing. People that know nothing...have no doubts. Never be afraid to doubt, if only you have the disposition to believe, and doubt in order that you may end in believing the truth."
