Every Sunday we light the Flaming Chalice, the symbol of Unitarian Universalism. Long ago, Jan Hus, a Czech priest, was martyred for believing that a communion chalice should be shared with everyone, thus suggesting that salvation was for everyone. During World War II it became an official symbol when the Unitarian Service Committee adopted it as a light of truth and hope in its rescue operations for those who were being persecuted by the Nazis.
