What do the flowers say?
Ninety-five years have passed since the Reverend Norbert Capek introduced the Flower Communion to his Unitarian congregation in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Much has changed since then, but the Flower Communion continues. What started as a simple exchange of flowers has become a favorite celebration for Unitarian Universalists everywhere. Why has this ceremony thrived? What does it offer us today?
Rev. Betty is the affiliated Community Minister at Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church in Cedar Park, Texas. She leads worship for UU congregations, officiates weddings and other rites of passage, serves on the U Bar U Board of Trustees, and volunteers as a discussion leader with iAct. Her newest project is developing an online liberal religious resource for people who can't participate in a UU congregation.
