When interfaith couples struggle to answer children's questions about conflicting beliefs

My husband and I come from different religious traditions and we've been attending both of our services with our kids, but our 8-year-old is asking hard questions about why we believe different things and whether one of us is wrong. Every time we try to talk about how to answer her, we end up defending our own faiths instead of figuring out what's true for our family.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The beautiful complexity of holding multiple truths becomes painful when forced into the either-or logic of a child's questions.
