2026 Theme Is Open At the Top

May's Theme is: Divine Doubt

We will explore the potential, beauty, and vulnerability of Divine Doubt. As the old adage goes, the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. A refusal to engage doubt weakens faith by forcing it to be only rigidly believed, rather than lived into. Additionally, willingness to explore and examine doubt alongside faith adds layers of richness to the mystery that simple certainty can never reach. This exploration will begin with using self-doubt to open the conversation from the Personal Inner experience. Focusing on vulnerability and the transformative, guiding power of leaning into doubt, we progress into the Personal Outer experience through seeing doubt as a persona to debut as part of an authentic, just, and reflective life. Then we focus on the shared inner experiences of doubt and explore the many ways we can be in community with one another through those experiences. Communal Uncertainty builds on this idea, offering reflection on the Collective Outer divine doubt to build communities that are willing to question, wonder, and engage their doubt within a web of love. Finally, we explore divine doubt as a pathway to becoming and to a higher, deeper expression of love. Taken together, these chart a path of Divine expression through surrender to vulnerability and a trusting of the Universal process.

TALK TITLES & SUMMARIES​

May 3rd

Self-Doubt as the Starting Block

Opening our conversation on Divine Doubt, we will explore the relationship we have to our own self-doubts and what the ramifications might be of letting doubt be part of our normal experiences. What doubts do I hide, and what do I fear revealing them would do? Rather than hide our doubt away, might we benefit from using them as the anchor of curiosity?

May 10th

Debuting the Doubting Self

IN-PERSON SERVICE! 

What would happen if I debuted my doubting self the way I share my confident self? How might my life and relationships change? As we dive deeper into Divine Doubt, we will consider the ramifications of sharing our personal doubts together and creating communities that hold space for these questioning moments.

​

May 17th

Carrying Our Doubt Together

We continue to explore Divine Doubt by turning to the collective inner experience, the doubts which we share amongst one another as part of our shared unconscious. What power and possibility lie in our collective doubts? If we revisit doubt as an avenue to faith and curiosity, what transformations can sharing and exploring doubt bring?

Communal Uncertainty

IN-PERSON SERVICE! 

Speaker: Reverend Rachael Dilling

After exploring Divine Doubt, how will we apply this work to our communities? Let us look at using our doubts to engage with wonder and curiosity as we continue to build webs of love and respect in CSL. As a community, both in individual communities and in the worldwide organization, what doubts or uncertainties does CSL express? What do we hide? What doubts and uncertainties might our organization address for the good of all?

Doubt as Devotion: Questioning as an Act of Love

Speakers: Practitioners Plugged-In

In this Oneness review, we put divine doubt into conversation with becoming and higher, deeper love. Taken together, these three chart a path of Divine expression through surrender to vulnerability and a trusting of the Universal process. What doubts distract or keep you from experiencing your fullness? Deeper love? What if those doubts are signposts, rather than detours?
