FAITH & VALUES: Doubt is Part of the Faith Journey, by Rev. Dr. Art Wright

The Aug. 21st issue of our local Virginia Gazette newspaper featured an article by our pastor, Rev. Dr. Art Wright, in their Faith & Values column! Check out his article on the relationship between faith and doubt in our journeys of faith.

"I remember the moment very vividly. I was only twenty-three years old at the time and in the second year of a master’s program at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond. I walked out of my Old Testament class and rushed back to my dorm room, my head spinning. I turned on the shower, stood under the water, and just stared at the wall for what felt like an hour. All I could think was, 'I don’t know if I believe in God anymore . . . . ' "

"Love is very much like . . . the culmination of a pile of broken pieces - hopes, dreams, aspirations, experiences, loss--to be gathered together into something beautiful, magical, and transformative."

 Our own Artist-in-Residence, Michael D. Jones, was featured on the cover and in an article of "The Asset Times" magazine (Aug. 2022), and we are so proud! In our very biased opinion, they couldn't have picked a better cover model!

The whole issue is available online: click here to check it out!

Michael: You are such a gift to us and to so many. Keep giving witness to the divine love in all of our lives through your artwork, your incredible kindness and friendship, and your presence and service among us as a deacon!

Our congregation is mentioned on p. 5 of the Winter 2021 newsletter from the Association for Welcoming and Affirming Baptists (AWAB). We were so glad to welcome Rev. Dr. Donnie Anderson to talk to us about gender identity and pronoun usage as we try to broaden our welcome for all. To listen to the podcast on pronouns and gender identity that Rev. Anderson recorded with our pastor, click here.
