Services : “The Services Of John Vlahos”
Introduction to the Services of John Vlahos
John Vlahos was a member of the Unitarian Church in Westport who used his talents as a scriptwriter for television and film (in the 1940's, 50's and 60's) to craft dramatic and unique services that reflect the spirit of the era. His services are a reminder that we are limited only by our imagination when it comes to creating new ways to express our own "free and responsible search." Although these services come from a different time and place, they are an example of the wide spectrum of Unitarian Universalism as it has been practiced over the years.
