Paper for the American Academy of Religion

Rev. Dr. Leona Stucky presented a paper, The Fog of Faith: How the Imprint of the First Nurturing Relationship Affects Beliefs, Meaning and Foggy Ideas of Faith, at the New England & Canadian Maritimes Region of the American Academy of Religion, (NEMAAR), on Friday March 22, 2019, at Tufts University, Boston, MA.

It’s delicate, cutting into the heart of theology. Like a scalpel, this paper separates evolutionary imprints, gendered battles for our hearts and minds, and our enmeshed search for comfort and evidence.

We explore scientific reflections and experience-near data that illuminate human meaning-making processes.
