Flower Communion Service

This Sunday’s service on April 21 is a special multi-generational service focused on the ceremony of the Flower Communion. Learn about a man named Norbert Capek from Czechoslovakia, who was born Catholic, became a Baptist minister serving churches from Ukraine to Budapest, then eventually became the minister of the Prague Liberal religious Fellowship. After World War I, he and his wife returned home to Czechoslovakia and became the minister of the Prague Liberal Religious Fellowship. In 1923, he developed the flower ceremony which was symbolic of our connection to nature, the diversity of life, the importance of sharing, and in other ways. The flower communion this Sunday is not a reenactment of a relic of the past, but an affirmation of our continuity with the generations of struggle for ever-widening liberty.
