As the members of DEWCOM:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covenant to respect one another\u2019s integrity. We believe that each person in the committee is seeking to be faithful to Christ in our expressions of theology and living.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covenant to celebrate our diversity. Our differences in tradition, identity, race, culture, gender, sexuality, age, spirituality and theology are a gift to each other, to the Church and to the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covenant to debate in order to learn and to grow. We will abstain from arguing in order to win.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covenant to give ourselves to the process of listening, thinking, engaging and consensus building.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covenant to speak and act in love, demonstrating to each other a generosity of thought and spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covenant to resist allowing debates and disagreements in theology to devolve into personal judgements and attacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
