About Believers & Doubters
The Believers and Doubters group at Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church has been in existence for more than thirty-five years. The group’s name is meant to connote its openness and acceptance of differing points of view, based on the understanding that we’re each at different stages on the faith journey. Our motto is “Faith seeking understanding.”
As is to be expected, over the span of nearly 40 years of existence, members and teachers have come and gone. The first leader of the group (which was not then known by its current moniker) was Dr. Ernest Plata, formerly a researcher with the US National Institutes of Health. Plata was followed by Sligo pastors M. Dale Hannah, James J. Londis and Jan Daffern. Our current group leader is Dr. Barry Casey, (formerly a professor in the communications department at Washington Adventist University).
The blog provides a forum for members of the group to continue their Saturday morning conversations. It’s a place for members and others to provide personal responses to books with religious, ethical, moral, spiritual themes which the group or individual contributor is reading. It may also be used to discuss contemporary issues in economics, popular culture, law or politics which may impinge on the practice of religious faith, ethics or morality.
