Our UUCO Covenant

In our covenant with others who form the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Oxford, we are grateful to come together to create and promote a community of religious freedom that can be a beacon of light for others. In doing so ...

Our Sanctuary asks us to:

  • Bring ourselves into its walls
  • Be present and patient
  • Amass dreams and hopes to share with the world
  • Join hands and make a community
​

Our Hearts ask us to:

  • Stand on the side of love
  • Honor thoughts and feelings, and act from our best intentions
  • Share what we see and cannot see
  • Be mindful of truth that exceeds our knowledge
  • Find our place in the family of things

Our Spiritual Family asks us to:

  • Welcome newcomers into our house
  • Be alive to our wealth, and share it
  • Educate, enjoy, and be inspired by our children
  • Speak with sincerity, and hear the sincerity of others
  • Seek to forgive; seek to accept forgiveness

Our Covenant asks us to:

  • Celebrate the diversity of humanity and the common values we hold
  • Honor the wisdom and richness of our religious tradition
  • Communicate directly, so what is unspoken does not lead to misunderstanding
  • Listen creatively to enjoy, understand, and learn
We create and affirm this covenant as a reminder of our best intentions as we grow together as a community.
