Roger C. Unpacks the Evolution of Secularism in AA
“Let us always try to be inclusive rather than exclusive. Reaching out to other human beings is, if you will excuse the expression, the very soul of AA.”
Imagine being part of a movement that reshapes an entire organization. That's what Roger C. delves into during his powerful speech at the Widening the Gateway Secular AA Conference. A history enthusiast turned active participant, Roger offers a riveting look at how secularism has woven itself into the fabric of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He brings to life the importance of inclusivity within AA, sharing personal anecdotes and highlighting the growth of agnostic groups over the years.
Roger also touches on the critical role of literature in making AA more accessible to those who might not connect with traditional texts like the Big Book. He passionately advocates for resources that support these evolving needs, urging AA to embrace its diverse membership and continue evolving. Whether you're part of AA or just curious about secular recovery methods, Roger's speech is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of addiction recovery.
