The Opposite of Faith is Fear - Verna Dozier, RIP

Susan Russell notes the death of Episcopal laywoman Verna Dozier with links to the Washington Post obituary and a wonderful quote from one of her books, The Dream of God:

Doubt is not the opposite of faith: fear is.  Fear will not risk that even if I am wrong, I will trust that if I move today by the light that is given me, knowing it is only finite and partial, I will know more and different things tomorrow than I know today, and I can be open to the new possibility I cannot even imagine today.

I've ordered the book and will be eager to see what Ms. Dozier has to say.
