OUR COVENANT

• To embody in our lives the values that we proclaim on behalf of our faith;
• To support one another in collegial respect and care, understanding and honoring the diversity within our association;
• To hold ourselves accountable to each other for the competent exercise of our vocation;
• To use our power constructively and with intention, mindful of our potential unconsciously to perpetuate systems of oppression;
• To seek justice and right relations according to our evolving collective wisdom, and to refrain from all abuse or exploitation;
• To cultivate practices of deepening awareness, understanding, humility, and commitment to our ideals;
• To labor earnestly together for the well-being of our communities and the progress of Unitarian Universalism.
