Unshaken

Recent events in California have really shaken the nation and the world. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been at the center of a great deal of controversy. Before the Thanksgiving break, we spent a good deal of time discussing several aspects of the debate over marriage and religious freedom. These discussions coincided with our study of some of the Savior's teachings regarding His Second Coming. We learned that in these last days, many will be shaken in their faith. It was helpful, during this process, to recognize that, while we may still have questions, there are aspects of our faith and testimonies that are unshaken.

"I have an unshaken testimony that Prop 8 (Yes) should have passed. Despite initially being no on 8, I researched it and instead of blindly following what the church told us to support, I learned for myself the pros and cons. I decided, for myself, that yes was correct. I think it's better to doubt at first, and learn for yourself."
