Our Oxford Group Heritage

 

The Oxford Group was a spiritual fellowship popular in the early half of the 20th century. It had no membership, dues, paid leaders, creed, or theology. Its appeal laid in the application of certain principles in daily living, namely honesty, purity, unselfishness and love. ~ SteppingStones.org website

Certain principles in daily living,
namely honesty,
purity,
unselfishness
and love.
I once saw a description of a book
tying the Oxford Group of the 1920’s and 30’s
with Holy Club at Oxford University
including John and  Charles Wesley and others.
The principle of OA’s Step One is Honesty.
The principle of Step Five is Integrity
which seems to tie to purity.
The principle for Tradition One is Unity,
and Step Five’s principle is Love.
If we live our Principles,
we follow in the footsteps
of innovated, motivated leaders
In whose footsteps
are worthy of emulation!
