Sermon: "Pleasure in the Flowers"

The Flower Communion honors the memory and spirit of Norbert Capek, founder of the Unitarian Church in Prague, which was then in Czechoslovakia. When the Nazis annexed the nation, they arrested Dr. Capek and deemed him, with his liberal religion, too ‘dangerous to live.’ He was murdered in the course of Nazi ‘medical experiments,’ making him the last martyr to die for Unitarian values. UU congregations in the US carry on the flower communion in tribute to him.
