Is AODA a Pagan organization?
That question doesn’t have a simple “yes or no” answer. AODA is an inclusive church of nature spirituality. Because it focuses on experience and spiritual practice, rather than ideology or dogma, it cuts across the barriers that divide religious traditions from one another, and opens its portals to all those who revere nature and seek to experience divine presence within nature, whatever names or forms they use for divinity. Thus AODA has Pagan members who participate in many different traditions, but it also has Christian members, Jewish members, Buddhist members, and members who belong to no particular tradition but find that Druid nature spirituality speaks to their needs and their understanding of the world. In Druidry, as in nature itself, diversity is something to be celebrated, not merely tolerated!
