When faith communities must navigate doubt and disruption

Our small prayer group has been meeting for five years and one of our core members is going through a crisis of faith and keeps bringing doubt and anger to our gatherings. Half of us want to hold space for her questioning and half of us feel like she's disrupting what we need from this sacred time together.
