Right Relations Covenant Inquiry Meeting

Join us for an inquiry meeting as we begin creating MLUC’s first Right Relations Covenant—a shared, aspirational promise that will shape how we live and engage together as a community.

This gathering is an opportunity to learn what a Right Relations Covenant is (and what it is not), why MLUC is developing one, and how the process will unfold. We’ll explore how a covenant of shared aspirations can serve as a foundation for future processes and practices that support healthy relationships within the congregation.

Participants are invited to ask questions, share reflections, and offer input as we begin this collaborative work together.

All are welcome. No prior experience or preparation is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to listen and engage.

Childcare is available.

RSVP so we know how much food will be needed.

Discussion Questions

During this session we will discuss the following:

• Our mission statement is “We transform lives through love, service, and our welcoming faith.” What behaviors do you see regularly that fulfill this mission?
• Considering the principles and UUA shared values that unite us as a congregation, how do you see this in practice at MLUC?
• Our shared values say, “Love is at the center of everything we do.” Especially when we don’t see eye-to-eye, and wish to move forward and resolve conflict, what does this look like?
• Many congregations create a covenant and then it becomes a document forgotten in a file or a framed statement on a wall that no one looks at. What could we do to make sure our covenant becomes a guiding and transformative force at MLUC? Be specific.
