Our newly adopted covenant

We, the members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo,
beginning with ourselves as we are, covenant together in love to

Celebrate and find joy in our diversity,
Honor our history and heritage while staying open to the future,
Be generous with our time and our treasure,
Strive for truth and justice within and beyond our congregation,
Relate to all who come here with kindness, respect and compassion,
Learn from one another, and
Honor the sacred in all its expressions.

When we fail, we will acknowledge our shortcomings,
make amends as we can, give and seek forgiveness,
and move forward again in love and community.
