"This I Believe" - December

The Christensen Center for Vocation (CCV) invites you to take a look at the December reflection for "This I Believe," a new regular feature for conversation on campus:

"Believing in God and in One's Self" by Melissa Hensley, http://www.augsburg.edu/ccv/december/

"This I Believe" highlights a reflection by a member of the Augsburg community on what it means to believe or doubt or not believe. We hope people see Augsburg as a place where questions of faith are part of the "public square."

Enjoy!
