WHAT WE PROMISE EACH OTHER

Saturday, June 26th, 4:00 PM CDT

Covenant lies at the heart of our faith: a shared agreement on how we should be together. We a covenant, promises to one another as member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association. As we think about what we need from a revised Article II, we want to ask: What do we need to promise to each other now, starting the 3rd decade of the 21st century, and going forward? How do we covenant in a way that leads us into the fullness of who we can be as a faith?

Workshop led by Article II Study Commissioners
