About this episode

Rev. John Crestwell reflects on the beauty and meaning of diversity in the community during the Flower Communion service.

In this homily from our beloved Flower Communion service, Rev. John Crestwell reflects on the beauty and meaning of all the differences that make up our shared community. Rooted in a Unitarian Universalist tradition dating back to 1923, Flower Communion invites us to celebrate diversity, connection, and renewal. As each person brings a unique flower and leaves with another, we are reminded that none of us blooms alone. Through this message, Rev. John explores what it means to honor our differences, embrace our interconnectedness, and live into the promise of love and belonging—together. 🌸
