This includes countries where partners are already active, such as Romania, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, as well as other countries where new partnerships are now beginning, such as the Philippines, India, and Poland. (Adopted June 2006)THE UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST PARTNER CHURCH COUNCIL Adopted June 2006 Vision: The vision of the UU Partner Church Council is that partner relationships between North American congregations and churches around the globe will be forged and sustained wherever they are desired—and that these relationships will be of high quality, firmly based, mutually beneficial, responsibly sustained, and linked by a joint and mutual covenant. We envision a commitment to international engagement as a moral and spiritual principle that is integral to Unitarian Universalist congregational life. Mission: The mission of the Unitarian Universalist Partner Church Council is to foster and support partner relationships between North American congregations and congregations, schools, and agencies in all other countries where partnering is sought and welcomed. This includes countries where partners are already active, such as Romania, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, as well as other countries where new partnerships are now beginning, such as the Philippines, India, and Poland. We will: BE a bridge that connects congregations around the world; REACH across boundaries to collaborate with old and new partners; CREATE transformational opportunities for pilgrimage and hospitality, for learning and for service; CHALLENGE ourselves theologically and open ourselves to changed values and behaviors; INITIATE partnerships that promote global friendships, international awareness, human rights, and a better world; and SUSTAIN this global vision, enlarging and renewing it as new occasions teach new duties.
