Sunday Worship: Flower Communion

Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching
Rebecca Haggerty, Worship Associate

While fascism was on the rise in Prague in 1923, Rev. Norbert Čapek, founder of the Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia, created the Flower Communion to celebrate the beauty of pluralism, community, and spiritual life in the face of the ugliness of fascism’s conformity, exclusion, and death. It was later brought to the US by his partner Rev. Maja Čapek, and it remains a late spring tradition celebrated in many contemporary Unitarian Universalist congregations. Please bring a flower (or a few) to church with you this morning for this special service. Join us for Sunday morning worship in our historic Sanctuary at 18th and Arizona, online or in-person.
