Rev. Dr. Lillian Daniel, a nationally recognized preacher, teacher and writer, will speak at the White Lake Congregatonal UCC Sunday, Sept. 28 at 10:30 a.m. The public is invited to hear Daniel's presentation.
Rev. Daniel is the Conference Minister of the Michigan Conference of the United Church of Christ. A graduate of Bryn Mawr, Yale Divinity School and Hartford Seminary, she has taught seminarians at schools on several continents and served four congregations as pastor before assuming her current position.
Rev. Daniel is also a widely read author. Her book "Tired of Apologizing for a Church I Don’t Belong To" generated international conversation about the changing religious landscape. It continues the theme of her 2013 book "When Spiritual But Not Religious Is Not Enough" about the growing number of people who claim “none” as their religious preference. Featured in the New York Times and on PBS, Rev. Daniel’s writing has been described as “biting, hilarious, pitch perfect, tender, and often stunningly beautiful,” and her book "This Odd and Wondrous Calling" is taught in many seminaries. Lillian Daniel has spoken at the National Cathedral, Duke Chapel, King’s College, London and Queen’s College, Ontario, and now she looks forward to speaking at UCC churches across the Michigan Conference, with a focus on communication, connection and celebration, as together we discern what our still speaking God is calling us to do next.
