Covenant 2006

We stand together in celebration of the divine
that moves within, among, and around us.

As a spiritual community, we affirm our kinship with the earth
and all of its people.

Our covenant with one another is rooted
in the Christian tradition and the living practice of Jesus
to welcome the excluded and care for the vulnerable.

We are connected by our respect for soul liberty,
which challenges us to embody God in the world
each in our own way.

We seek to be transformed as we wake to the hidden wholeness of life.

We promise to be mutually helpful one to the other,
bearing one another's burdens, participating in one another's joys,
and supporting the church community that nurtures us all.

We promise to make this church a womb of contemplation and action,
so as to clarify our vision and strengthen our resolve
to act against injustice and for peace.

We promise to be stewards of the earth, sustaining it for future generations
by cultivating self-discipline and gratitude.

We pray together to love justice, act kindly, and walk humbly with God.
