We covenant to build a religious community guided by love and sustained by respectful relationships.  Believing that building healthy relationships is a spiritual practice, we aim to listen appreciatively, speak with care, express gratitude, honor our differences, and assume good intentions. We endeavor to communicate directly, honestly, and compassionately, particularly when we are in conflict.  When we hurt one another, we will try to forgive, make amends and reconnect in a spirit of love.  In celebration of the common purpose that unites us, we will do our best to abide by this covenant.
