What Do You Believe?

There are a dozen variations on the “What do you believe?” question. In a quest to understand how another person sees the world or experiences a certain moment, we might say, “What do you think?” or, as Oprah would say, “What do you know for sure?” I know it’s raining now. I think it will rain tomorrow. I believe the rain will stop before the broccoli molds. Knowledge is about facts. Thoughts are about opinions. Belief, however, is all about hope and trust in the things that we can’t know for sure.

The contributors to this issue explore this challenging topic of belief. Ella F. Busby looks to scripture for inspiration in our most desperate of moments. Layton E. Williams offers a thoughtful analysis of how and why disagreements and arguments can lead us to more authentic community—a community where we don’t all have to believe the same thing! Laura Mariko Cheifetz looks at the Flint water crisis and asks what we believe about honesty as well as caring for one another and the planet. Beth Herrinton-Hodge highlights the core beliefs of Presbyterians, and what we believe about our relationship to God and others. And Cheri Harper revisits the question of what we believe is significant about women’s groups like Presbyterian Women.

Know that Presbyterian Women is a community, a space where you can say “I believe” or “I believe; help my unbelief!” May the pages that follow strengthen your commitment to sharing your deepest beliefs and listening to others’ beliefs. And may they strengthen you as a believer in Christ’s power and a member of a community of believers.
