The current installment of the COEC began meeting in 2007.

We are currently on a "break," for no particular reason, and many little reasons - mostly pertaining to life circumstances. If anyone is interested in calling a meeting, feel free to post on the blog, join the google group (see link below) and send an email, or contact either Nancy (nancykj10@yahoo.com) or Jesse (schroeder.jesse@gmail.com) for more information.

Faith and Doubt

In the post from 2-9-09 (Sunday Wrap-Up), we had many good comments. The topic of faith and doubt was intertwined into the conversation. While some thought that doubt was a good place to be, others thought that we should not stay there.

Our friend, Greg Newton, shares some great thoughts on faith and doubt on his blog. Greg is a part of Disciples' Fellowship in Birmingham, AL.

Thanks so much for sharing this Adam. I read it several times to really digest it. I especially appreciated the last two sentences--just unbelievably well done.

In the past as an evangelical Christian, I had plenty of certainty. But my faith was actually like thin ice--it cracked pretty easily under pressure. I didn't question and it didn't look like doubt, but as I think back, I simply didn't acknowledge it.

Now my life really looks like doubt. I question much of the time and am content to live with a lot of uncertainty. This has made my faith very alive, very deep and constantly challenging.

And I am so grateful.

I wrote some thoughts on this which I won't bother repeating here. If you want to read it, it's here:

It particular deals with the analogy of Christians being pilgrims.
