UUism is a faith bound by covenant. This agreement we make for what kind of church we want — what kind of community we want — has power only because we all agree with it and believe in its realization. This agreement with our neighbors and with the Gods is one we make for ourselves.
The power of our covenant is made by our community. Whether in a small group, a congregation, a denomination, or the large, beloved community, to covenant requires us to be accountable and responsible, to negotiate and compromise.
