From a stamp for life-preserving papers to a cup for dancing flames, from a symbol of our service work abroad to a ritual at the heart of our Sunday services, the UU flaming chalice has a vibrant history. The story of our flaming chalice is the story of our living tradition: enacted, embodied, and evolving.
