Sunday Worship: Flower Communion
Sanctuary 1260 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA, United States
Worship Services
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.
