Dr Norbert Čapek founded the Unitarian church in Czechoslovakia and created the flower celebration service in 1923. Dr Čapek was born in 1870 and was murdered in 1942. The impetus for writing the flower communion came from his feeling that his church needed a symbolic ritual that would bind his congregants more closely together. Come and join us in this beautiful service.

Let’s discuss what we think about global warming, Enbridge
pipelines, Immigration and Refugee Protection, and electronic democracy,
in advance of the Unitarian gathering where the national position will be
decided.  Allison Benner is a past-chair of Capital and Peter Scales
is the current chair of the board.

From the paleolithic to the present, the Mother Goddess has been worshipped and
revered.  Join us as we explore her myths and traditions which, despite
all obstacles, have endured to the present day. Dr. Dana Seaborn, a local
Unitarian, began her study of Eurasian goddesses in the early 1980’s.

The Membership Committee and the Conflict Resource Team are hosting a workshop this coming Saturday, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Common Room at 548 Dallas Road. We have plenty of space left in the workshop, and are hoping to have as many participants as possible, so please consider registering.

This workshop will help you to recognize the signs of stress in yourself and others, and to develop strategies to prevent and address burnout within congregational life and in other contexts. While the workshop is designed to help you to prevent and address burnout, it will also be helpful in supporting you to manage stress in milder, less chronic forms as well.

If you are interested in registering for this workshop, please contact Allison Benner by e-mail at abenner@uvic.ca or by telephone at (250) 385-4048.

Dr. Pullyblank’s homily begins by looking at general issues in mental health and a video clip of a case study. We then explore how our Unitarian Principles influence our understanding of mental health, and how mental health informs our day-to-day adherence to Unitarian Principles.

Dr. Pullyblank has been a Psychologist for 25 years, a Unitarian for 20 years, and a member of Capital for 14 of those years.
