34 Transformation. We embrace possibilities [adapt to the] in an always changing world.
35 We covenant to grow spiritually and ethically, accept ourselves and one another, and collectively advance transformations that embody Love.
[collectively transform and grow spiritually and ethically.] Openness to change
36 is fundamental to our Unitarian and Universalist heritages, never complete and never perfect.
The positive and active tone of the first sentence invites us to read on!

The covenant sentence in this amendment leaves no doubt; this amendment is a positive and signficant improvement.
