About six years ago, a church member shared a deep concern that she had struggled with aspects of faith and belief and God for most of her life. There had never been the space or opportunity to express or share those concerns.

Talking to some church members it was felt that what was needed was a group like Alcoholics Anonymous for people with questions about faith. It was jokingly suggested we called the group ‘Heretics Anonymous’ (where a ‘Heretic’ can be understood as someone who questions orthodoxy).
