As the Reopening Task Force works on metrics and guidelines for reopening HVUUC, we thought it might be helpful for everyone to see some of the things we are taking into account. Today we are sharing some guidance from the Unitarian Universalist Association about “Covenantal Consent” and how the way we reopen reflects our values as UUs.
Here are links to two articles that explain some of the framework we are using as we develop recommendations for the church.
Consent: Mask Edition
Person #1: I'm fully vaccinated and comfortable taking off my mask - how do you feel?
Person #2: Honestly, I'm not comfortable yet. My kids aren't vaccinated yet and I haven't had my second shot.
Person #1: OK, masks on then! It's great to see you in person!
Person #2 Thanks for understanding. A lot of people don't.
