We who enter into this covenant relationship agree: 1. To meet humbly in the eternal presence of the power which transcends us all. 2. To respect each other's imperfect personal and communal integrities. 3. To seek honesty and integrity through our growing imperfect relationships. 4. To cooperatively seek win-win resolutions of conflicts among ideals and values. 5. To respect each other's right to privacy and to be their own unique person. 6. That truly integrative human relationships are not achieved through control. 7. That none of us have the duty, right, or need to be in control of other persons. 8. That it is not our duty, right or privilege to fix or rescue dishonest people. 9. That evil grows through excommunication and within our alienative relationships. 10. That salvation is dynamic and cannot be achieved through any kind of conformity. 11. That balanced personal and communal integrity are essential to true salvation. 12. That conditional personal acceptance, affection, and affirmations are unhealthy. 13. That personal manipulations, coercion, and violence are disintegrative. 14. That powerful addicts' and codependents' typical behaviors do not merit respect. 15. That exclusivity often leads to rejections, alienation and evil relationships. 16. That in integrative relationships healthy boundaries reflect human limitations. 17. That honestly-taking-care-of-self comes before healthy-caring-for-others. 18. That we cannot take-care-of-others any better than we take-care-of-ourselves. 19. To work to transcend coercive and manipulative personal expectations. 20. To work cooperatively towards balanced communal and personal relationships. 21. To work to transcend dichotomous attitudes, ideals, values and relationships. 22. To honestly acknowledge our own and each other's finitude and limitations. 23. To give/accept true security as the gift of the freedom to be safely vulnerable. 24. To be as true as we can to ourselves and each other in charity and humility. 25. To honestly share our experiences, feelings, needs, insights, ideals and values. 26. To work to learn as much as possible from our errors, failures and tragedies. 27. To elicit respect for this covenant relationship to the best of our abilities. 28. That other people's respect for a covenant relationship expands possibilities. 29. That adversarial procedures are contrary to the above agreement. 30. That is evil for other considerations to undermine balanced consideration of these. Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom. (c) 2006 by Paul A.
