“To those who have separated themselves from the Church, I
say, my dear friends, there is yet a place for you here. Come and add your
talents, gifts, and energies to ours. We will all become better as a result.
Some might ask, “But what about my doubts?” It’s natural to have questions—the
acorn of honest inquiry has often sprouted and matured into a great oak of
understanding. There are few members of the Church who, at one time or another,
have not wrestled with serious or sensitive questions. One of the purposes of
the Church is to nurture and cultivate the seed of faith—even in the sometimes
sandy soil of doubt and uncertainty. Faith is to hope for things which are not
seen but which are true. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters—my dear friends—please,
first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf
