Tuesday, February 21


Since its birth in 1996, Solas has been loudly proclaimed as the most popular, influential and exciting Celtic band to ever emerge from the United States.

Even before the release of its first Shanachie CD, the Boston Herald trumpeted the quartet as "the first truly great Irish band to arise from America," and the Irish Echo ranked Solas among the "most exciting bands anywhere in the world."

Since then, the praise has only grown louder. The Philadelphia Inquirer said they make "mind-blowing Irish folk music, maybe the world's best." The New York Times praised their "unbridled vitality", the Washington Post dubbed them one of the "world's finest Celtic-folk ensembles" and the Austin American-Statesman called them "the standard by which contemporary Celtic groups are judged."

"When 'Spiritual but not Religious' is Not Enough"
Lillian Daniel, senior minister, First Congregational Church, Glen Ellyn, Ill.
Before her time at First Congregational Church in Glen Ellyn, Ill., Lillian Daniel spent 14 years in Connecticut where she led two churches. She is the author of "Tell It Like It Is: Reclaiming the Practice of Testimony," which is the story of one church's attempt to get mainline Protestants to talk to each other about God. With Martin B. Copenhaver, she co-authored "This Odd and Wondrous Calling: The Public and Private Lives of Two Ministers," a humorous and honest look at the ministry. Her lecture will address the question of "spiritual" vs. "religious" in contemporary culture and how we find God in all kinds of unexpected places, even the church. Daniel hosts the Chicago-based public television program "30 Good Minutes." An editor-at-large for the Christian Century Magazine, and a contributing editor at Leadership, her work has also appeared in The Huffington Post, Christianity Today, Leadership Journal, Books and Culture, The Journal for Preachers and in daily email devotionals available at ucc.org. In October 2010, she received the distinguished alumni award from Yale Divinity School for "Distinction in Congregational Ministry."

Paul Adams III, founder and president of Providence St. Mel School, Chicago
In 1971, Paul Adams III was hired as director of guidance for Providence St. Mel School, a private Catholic high school in Chicago. One year later, he became the principal. When the Archdiocese of Chicago withdrew funding from the school in 1978, Adams spearheaded a national campaign to raise money for the school. Donations poured in from across the country, allowing Adams to transition Providence St. Mel into a not-for-profit independent school. Over the next two decades, Adams successfully transformed Providence St. Mel into a premier college preparatory learning institution for African American students. Under Adams' leadership, 100 percent of Providence St. Mel's graduating seniors are accepted to four-year colleges, with more than 50 percent today attending top-tier and Ivy League institutions. His talk will focus on the dynamics that have shaped his life and philosophy of education, as well as his views on how American education is failing our children.
