The Who’s, What’s and How’s – Building a Secular Community from Scratch

Demographics in the 21st century are becoming more secular – and quickly. In response to these changes, communities around the world are avoiding traditional institutions, like religion, and instead searching for a more fitting system that follows our changing needs and values – communities like Oasis.

This week’s speaker, Aaron Taylor, is visiting from Calgary where a similar group is growing rapidly. He will be sharing his experiences, what brought him into this work, and to trade ideas and insight with you.

Aaron Taylor grew up near Toronto and currently lives in Calgary, Alberta. He was raised a Jehovah’s Witness and uses his experience to relate with others who have lost faith, friends or family in the same way. Armchair philosopher, music lover, and family man, Aaron has plenty of stories and something in common with everyone.

Every week we gather to be inspired, entertained, motivated and build our secular community in Downtown Toronto. Our core values are: People are more important than beliefs. Reality is known through reason. Meaning comes from making a difference. Human hands solve human problems. Be accepting and be accepted. Check out our website: www.torontooasis.org.
