In this work, the church fosters relationships, keeps dialogue open, and finds and cultivates places of common ground and mutual growth. In my ministry, I seek to both create and maintain these relationships myself, and to help others in the congregation in establishing and building these relationships. I also believe strongly in our covenant across Unitarian Universalist congregations, and my ministry necessarily includes creating and/or strengthening these lateral relationships.
It is important to me that the life of the congregation speaks to and transforms the community it is in, whether through direct service, public witness, prayer, or other social action. To do this, we must create and strengthen partnerships, and form alliances with those in the immediate community who share our commitment to building Beloved Community.
