This August, in place of our featured presentations, we will have discussions on our five core values, focusing on one each Sunday. At the moment there are 13 Oasis communities in North America. All of them, including our own community, Toronto Oasis, are founded on these five core values:
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.
What do these values mean to each of us? How similar or different are our interpretations of what they mean? Are there limitations and exceptions to the “rules” implicit in each of these values? Should the wording of any of these values be modified to better communicate the underlying core value? Let’s discuss!!
This Sunday we’ll focus on the core value: Human hands solve human problems. Toronto Oasis member, Helen Lenskyj, will introduce the topic and set us up for the discussion.
Our guest musician will be Reenie Perkovic. Reenie is a queer folk-pop artist. With a soulful edge, she composes heartfelt songs that are both fun and introspective. Infusing her classical background with jazz harmony, folk rhythms, and pop sensibilities, Reenie and her guitar weave together stories of the human condition, connection, and social justice.
