PSWD UUMA Covenant:

As members of the PSWD UUMA, in order to support and encourage each other as ministers and members of the religious community, we covenant:

To make participation in the Chapter a high priority with consideration for differences in financial resources;

To be honest, truthful and forthright with each other, respecting each other's boundaries, individuality and the need for confidentiality;

To ask for help when needed and to reach out to those in need, being ever lovingly mindful of the divine or creative as well as the demonic or destructive within each of us;

And to sustain the code of professional conduct.
