• Treat others with kindness, care, dignity, and respect.
• Foster an environment of compassion, generosity, fellowship, and creativity.
• Share in the responsibilities of congregational life with our time, talent, and treasure.
• Be accountable for our words, deeds, and behaviors.
• Speak truth as we experience it and earnestly and humbly listen to all points of view.
• Be true to our ourselves on our personal journeys and
• support others on their own journeys.
• Acknowledge our uncertainty when we recognize it.
• Value differences and approach them with respect, trust, open-mindedness, curiosity, and humility.
• Acknowledge conflict and seek resolution and forgiveness.
• Endeavor to see the best in our fellow human beings, and trust in a greater good.
