Come, Come, Whoever You Are
By Melanie Morel-Ensminger
Come, come, whoever you are - you are welcome here!
No matter your age, your size, the color of your eyes, your hair, your skin—you are welcome here!
No matter how you came here,
if you came alone, or with others—
you are welcome here!
No matter whom you love, or how you speak, or whatever your abilities - you are welcome here!
Whether you come with laughter in your heart, or tears in your eyes—you are welcome here!
If you come here with an open mind,
a loving heart, and willing hands,
then you are indeed welcome here
We are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and people of many beliefs. We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world. Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:
Interdependence We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
Pluralism We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
Justice We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
Transformation We adapt to the changing world.
Generosity We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
Equity We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
Love is the doctrine of this church;
the quest for truth is its sacrament;
and service is its prayer. To dwell together in peace;
to seek knowledge in freedom;
to serve humankind in fellowship;
to the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with the good.
Thus, do we covenant with each other.
