I am committed to the role our congregation plays in my religious exploration, and respect the shared ministry of each congregant, staff member, and minister, therefore:

• I acknowledge and accept my role as a community
  member, approaching each encounter with curiosity;
  generosity, and patience with the process
• I honor differences as opportunities to learn
• I  listen to what others say
• I do my best to communicate directly and with humility.

I understand disagreement and conflict as an opportunity for growth,
therefore:

• I state my views with kindness directly to those involved
• I say of another only what I would say to them;
• I am open to be changed by others;
• I practice both patience and fortitude;
• I remember to show gratitude to others for their
  contributions.

I affirm our flourishing religious community, therefore:

• I am generous with my talents, efforts, and gifts;
• I support those who take leader positions;
• I accept leadership when called and guide with love,
  warmth, and humor;
• I encourage positive development within our
  congregation, individually and collectively.

Thus do I covenant.
