How often have we heard that we shouldn’t have doubts, especially in church?

So what do we do with that wonderfully familiar story about “Doubting Thomas,” who always shows up the week after Easter? And why is it always DOUBTING Thomas? Is that all he ever did?

Is there something good, even necessary about doubt?
