Where: UUCB
The Healthy Congregation Team (HCT) helps the UUCB community live out our mission by weaving our Covenant of Respectful Relationships (see below) into the life of the congregation.
Our major responsibilities are: educating the congregation about our covenant and about conflict (a normal thing that will happen when humans are involved!) and to serve as a holder of space for people in conflict to repair relationships with conversation grounded in our covenant.
The Healthy Congregation Team is a committee of 3-5 members + the lead minister, serving staggered 3-year terms and accountable to the Board of Trustees.
COVENANT OF RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS UU CHURCH OF BOULDER
Our spiritual health and growth require our best efforts to maintain respectful relationships with each other, especially when we encounter conflicts among our members or with our Minister or staff.
As a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder, I covenant to do the following to the best of my ability:
1. I will treat others in our community with the same love and respect that I would like to receive.
2. I will listen to others with attention and empathy, recognizing that it is as important to understand as to be understood.
3. I will speak honestly and directly, with care and compassion.
4. I will honor the right of others to form and hold differing opinions.
5. I will speak directly with anyone with whom I have a concern.
6. I will focus on the present and the future, rather than on the past.
7. I will keep an open mind and remain engaged in the process of seeking a resolution when conflict occurs.
