Faith

What do I trust when certainty is unavailable?

Faith can refer to religious commitment or to forms of trust and hope, but these meanings should not be treated as identical. We can recognise what sustains us and what claims we make on its basis. Personal conviction can guide a life without functioning as public evidence for every factual claim or giving authority over another person's conscience.

A question to sit with (optional): What does this conviction mean to me, and what am I asking others to accept because of it?
