Our covenant affirms a commitment to build loving, healthy and trusting relationships within our congregation. We make these promises in order to love better, relate more compassionately and feel the power of our human connections.

Our promises:

• We warmly welcome all.
• We speak with honesty, respect and compassion.
• We listen attentively.
• We express gratitude for the service of others.
• We honor and support one another in our spiritual journeys an in times of joy, need and struggle.
• We embrace our diversity and the opportunity to share our different perspectives.
• We address our disagreements directly and openly and see conflict through to an authentic resolution.
• We serve our spiritual community with generosity and joy.
• We strive to keep these promises, but when we fall short, we forgive ourselves and others and begin again in love.

 

The Relational Covenant Task Force: Linda Benson, Ron Campbell, Diana Gray, Sharon McCrae, Michele Ochsner and Dana Powsner.
