“Covenantal theology doesn’t just say that we become human through our promising, but also
we become human when we break those promises, and yet somehow find ways to reconnect and
begin again – when we repair the relationship because we know we need each other – even when
we think the other isn’t doing enough – even when our partner is annoying us, or isn’t listening
well, or isn’t doing things the way we want them done – even then – when we realize right then,
that we are still partners, and we can’t give up – and so we return, and begin again – it is this
beginning again that is what it means to be human.” (by UU Rev. Gretchen Haley) Reverend
Tom will reflect on the covenant we hold with one another as members and friends of UU
Miami, as well as what it means to be in covenant in other relationships.
