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. 
Affirmed at UUCO Congregational Meeting, April 2010
