Wrestling with doubt?

1 May 2025 • From Bishop Richard Jackson

In this week's video, Bishop Richard (sporting a colourful episcopal shirt, a souvenir from his recent visit to Uganda) reminds us that the New Testament accounts reveal that some of Jesus' disciples were bemused and uncertain after his resurrection.  He suggests it's important that we too provide safe spaces in our churches "to enquire and explore and live non-anxiously with the mystery of faith as well as those historical truths that I believe are convincing.provide safe spaces in our churches for questions of faith to be asked and explored.... I have every confidence that faith in the resurrected Jesus is quite robust enough to survive serious exploration and enquiry. It has managed it for the last 2000 years!"

There is a full transcript of the Bishop's message on the diocesan website.
