ARCHIVE: The Oasis Network of Secular Communities – A Possible Home for Unorthodox and Post-Mormons

As progressive and post-Mormons continue to leave the LDS church in increasing numbers, many former LDS church members miss the sense of community that they once enjoyed as active Mormons. Oasis is a network of secular communities that meet weekly (on Sundays), organized according to the following values: 1) People are more important than beliefs. 2) Reality is known through reason. 3) Meaning comes from making a difference 4) Human hands solve human problems. 5) Be accepting and be accepted. Currently the Oasis Network has two thriving communities: Houston Oasis: http://houstonoasis.org Kansas City Oasis: http://KCoasis.org Also, a new Oasis community is under development in Boston: http://bostonoasis.org. In this episode we interview the two founders of Oasis: Mike Aus of Oasis Houston, and Helen Stringer of Oasis Kansas City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVjI-f6Z9HU
