Welcome!
Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a vibrant,
multi-generational liberal religious home. We believe in walking alongside each other in our separate spiritual journeys while covenanting to create community and striving to make a more just world.
Who we are
Members and friends of the Fellowship come from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs. Our stories are different and our identities more so, but we believe that our spiritual journeys are enhanced by this diversity and that we learn from each other. At Morristown UU Fellowship we strive to live up to the commitments of our Right Relations Promise as we continue the work of building the beloved community.
Right Relations Promise
1. I will listen attentively, acknowledge others’ views and try to imagine holding their opinions.
2. I will refrain from judging other people’s motives and opinions.
3. I will seek accurate information, be willing to test my assumptions, and examine my own motives.
4. I will communicate openly, directly, and honestly. I will go directly to a person with whom I disagree and share differences respectfully. If needed, I will use a third party to mediate.
5. I will balance being open to new ideas and respecting our traditions.
6. I will be patient with myself, others, and the process of change.
7. I will allow space for feelings and emotions – mine and others’.
8. I will let go of the trivial, and be willing to give and take.
9. I will remind myself that we are all working for the shared goal of supporting our religious community.
