Unlike the vast majority of religious traditions, the Unitarian Universalist faith tradition is not held together by creeds – commonly held beliefs – but by covenant – the promises we make to one another in community.  It has been this way since at least 1648 when our Congregational ancestors drafted “The Cambridge Platform” which set the stage for the congregationally-based tradition we are today.  What promises hold Unitarian Universalism together today?  What promises hold TJMC?

Worship Theme for September:  What does it mean to be a community of covenant?
At the core of our Unitarian Universalist faith tradition is the concept of “covenant” – the promises we make to one another to offer encouragement, comfort … and challenge, too, when it’s called for.  We make these promises to one another in community, to ourselves in integrity, and to the “spirit of life” in our interconnectedness to all that is.  This month we will be exploring the meaning of covenant in both our individual and collective lives.
