Personal faith can be a powerful force for public good.

My faith grew strong, and I sent a letter (as I was ordered) to the Rev. Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. I was assured, before I sent it, he would not answer it.

The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.

Millions of Americans find community, comfort and support in their faith.

Faith given back to us after a night of doubt is a stronger thing, and far more valuable to us than faith that has never been tested.
