Monday morning's featured speaker was Don Saliers and he spoke regarding the conference theme of "From Generation to Generation." Dr. Saliers' daughter Emily is one of the singing duo known as the Indigo Girls. His address included taped coverage of their interaction as it related to music of the church and music promoting social concerns.
In the afternoon we went to Via de Matel, a Roman Catholic convent which is the mother house for the Sisters of Charity. We heard an organ concert by Robert Bates, held an evening prayer service in the manner of Taize, then had a delicious Texas barbecue dinner!
The evening was finished in the Via de Matel Chapel (pictured) with a concert by the Houston Chamber Choir. Their presentation included "The Souls of the Righteouss" by David Cherwien who was also one of the conference clinicians.
