Covenant of Good Relations

In the covenantal tradition of Unitarian Universalism, we strive to build our religious community on a foundation of kindness, understanding and tolerance and to be guided by our principles in all our actions and interactions. We covenant to welcome one another as unique individuals and to celebrate our diverse beliefs as we walk our chosen paths together. We promise to share our gifts and to encourage and appreciate the contributions of others.

To foster a community of respect:

• We will speak kindly of one another and to one another.
• Should difficulties arise between or among us, we will speak directly to those concerned with the goal of reconciliation.
• We will not engage in harmful gossip.
• We will urge others to resolve difficulties directly with the person/s concerned.
• Should we need assistance to restore good relations, we will call upon the process and resources provided by Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church.
• We will participate in the democratic process by which our religious community governs itself, and we will respect the outcomes of the collective wisdom.

For the health, and well being of our beloved community, we make this pledge together.
