Inside this issue

bear fruit where we find ourselves. The circumstances are God's - the work producing fruit for the kingdom is ours, with God’s help.

We are here today because we all believe in Jesus as Lord and we all know what that means in our lives. Yet we may not be as fruitful as God would like us to be. In the text from the letter to the Ephesians, we know that each of us are given gifts for the sole purpose of equipping the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ and for our own spiritual growth as disciples.

We are Christ-centered leaders serving the church through Cursillo in order to accomplish the task of bearing fruit for God’s kingdom. The fruit we bear is two fold. First, we allow God’s Spirit to work in and through us so that we grow into the full stature of Christ. Second, we use the Cursillo method to bring Christ to the world we live in, our environments, as we say in the Cursillo community. Each of us is here because we believe that God is calling us to use our gifts for the glory of God and the building up of the body of Christ, the Church. We do this within the framework of the larger Church and we are accountable to the whole body of Christ for how we use our gifts of leadership.

Presiding Bishop Katherine was asked what she would say to someone without a knowledge of Jesus and she said this, “The

Let us pray: Almighty God, may only your words be spoken and may only your words be heard. Amen.

When we look at this fig tree parable, I am reminded of the other fig tree encounter. Jesus cursed a fig tree which had no fruit on it when he wanted to eat it's fruit. Now it appears that the owner orders this fig tree cut down because it is barren, but the gardener asks for another year for it to be mulched and nurtured. The owner says ok, but if it bears no fruit next year, then you can cut it down.

Both of these stories are warnings that we are called to bear fruit for God's Kingdom. Jesus never promised anyone security, protection, or the right to sheltered inactivity because they were timid or fearful; instead he gave them the opportunity to go out and take risks for the kingdom of God. He healed the blind that they might see what needed to be done. He gave hearing to the deaf so that they could hear his call; and he healed servants that they might go about doing their tasks. We are baptized into God's Kingdom to bear fruit. To be ready for the coming of God means to be working for God's Kingdom - to bear fruit. We can not pick our life's conditions - we all have hindrances. It is said that Martin Luther suffered from severe recurrent depression, blind and deaf musicians have produced beautiful music, Paul suffered from disease and imprisonment, and many if not most of the early church lived in hunger, oppression, and abject poverty. Yet these are not just obstacles, but opportunities. The question is not how to change our circumstances, but how to

BEAR FRUIT

our parishes and the Church. Jesus invites us to experience a deeper connection with Him and a deeper sense of community by bearing fruit for the kingdom. But we need to prepare by being part of 4th day accountability groups and not just relying on these brief times together to deepen our connections. We can take an active role in the education of ourselves, our families, and the new members of the church. We can come together as the body of Christ to worship every week, and to encourage and support each other. However, our preparations of 4th day, cursillo weekends, worship and study should not make us so "busy" that we fail to actually witness in our environments.

We often become heavily "involved" in the Cursillo movement, but we may fail to remember that Cursillo is a tool for evangelism, not a social group or society in the church. Cursillo is a method for developing Christ centered leaders who go out into the world and share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

The story of the fig tree is about bearing fruit not simply being a tree. We have a mission to accomplish and we must make a renewed commitment. Commitment to God means making changes in your life and putting God first even when it is not popular or even immediately rewarding to do so. Commitment to God means understanding that we have an obligation to each other as members of

the body of Christ, and an obligation to the world we live in to service in Christ's name.

What we face today, is the temptation to look like a Christian but never produce any fruit. The issues facing the church today are symptoms of our failure as a community of believers to see Christ in each other, and to share Christ with the world. The gifts necessary for commitment are available to us, but without the willingness to risk opening the unused, guarded parts of ourselves to the action of the Holy Spirit, they will lie within us - dormant and untapped. This very day Jesus says go from this table into the world telling everyone how wonderful it is to live in the love of God. Go out and bear fruit for God’s kingdom. Ultreya!

From a sermon given by Mother Pat Miller, former President of the NECC at the NEC Conference in Orlando Florida

Episcopal Church believes that each person has gifts that are important to God’s kingdom and we believe that we each have a ministry by virtue of our baptism. Within the church you will find diverse people who will love you and challenge you to grow in your faith. Fi-nally, she said, we are called to use our gifts in the world to show the world the love of God.”

Of course there is far more which can be said about the body of Christ, the Church, but today Jesus reminds us and challenges us to bear fruit for the kingdom. As Christ-centered leaders, each of us goes back out into our various home parishes and dioceses and serves as a witness to the call of Christ.

For the past several years, at least, we have been wrapped up in one issue after another—letting issues of sexuality or other hot button issues divert our attention from the real mission of the church. We are to bear fruit. We are to serve and equip others so they too can share ministry. But many times we don’t serve and equip others, we simply hold our weekends and our Ultreyas and act like that is enough; but it is not enough. Weekends and Ultreyas are only part of what God is calling each of us to do.

Now you are sitting there thinking, how can she possibly say such a thing to us after all we have given up our time and money to come here to participate in this conference! Here is what I mean. We may not have a full sense of the risks it requires to bear fruit for God’s kingdom. We prefer to stick with what is safe and familiar. That is why we resist every attempt to change anything that happens in the 3 day weekend even when we realize that those dances or stories or gadget laden shirts have nothing to do with the message we want the candidates to take home with them. Yet, it is what has been done and we are afraid to let it go.

Perhaps we should be asking ourselves, “what will it take for Cursillo to bear fruit for God’s kingdom?” I think it will mean that we get serious about accountability to each other. We take our sponsorship responsibilities to heart and make sure our candidates get into reunion groups and are at Ultreyas. We take a serious look at our own spiritual rule of life and make sure that prayer, study, corporate worship and action are a part of our personal journey. We can not lead others to Christ if we are not living a Christ-centered life. Cursillo is an evangelism method for building up

PRESIDENT’S

LETTER

Continued on pg 4

DeColores!

It is an honor and privilege to serve the NECC as

its president for 2012-13. I follow a long line of

NEC presidents who have provided leadership

and direction to the National Episcopal Cursillo

ministry. I use the term “ministry” because, as

the Rt. Rev. Larry Provenzano, Bishop of the

Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, said at the

June 2012 NECC meeting, “movements have a

beginning and an end, ministry has no end.”

I believe Cursillo is a ministry whose methods

empower and support Episcopalians to become

Christian leaders in their parish, community, and

workplace. It works for me and apparently works

for the hundreds of people that I’ve talked to over

the past three years as a NECC layman attending

meetings, conferences, and conventions.

As president, I challenged the NECC members

with four major goals to accomplish prior to the

October 2013 NEC Conference. These are:

1. Start a path that will restore the financial health of the NEC. The Very Rev. Rick Simpson, past Northeast clergy representative, will chair a committee of present and past committee members to develop a comprehensive transition plan.

2. Begin translating the NEC Library into Spanish. Dee Settelmeyer, NEC president elect and Northcentral laywoman will lead the Publications subcommittee in this project. The goal is to translate the following booklets in 2013:

Clergy Talk Workbook The Fourth Day First

Servant Community Authentic Three-Day Weekend Role of the Clergy in the Cursillo Movement Lay Talk Workbook

3. Publish the NEC Library study guides written by Fr. Rick Simpson. Then develop a plan to introduce them to the diocesan secretariats. Pat Steele, NECC vice president and Northcentral layman representative, working with the Communications subcommittee will lead this project.

4. Fully develop and implement a strategy for constant contact with all diocesan secretariats and bishops within the Episcopal Cursillo ministry. Janet Jendron, Southeast laywoman representative and member of the Communications subcommittee, will lead this effort.

These goals are daunting, but the NECC has stepped up to the challenge. With your prayers, support, and God’s help they will be met.

Ultreya,

Charles Hood

FROM THE EDITOR What a wonderful time of the year when one can

move from the invigoration provided by the National

Cursillo Conference to Thanksgiving. One can start

by giving thanks at Conference for the inspiration

provided by Bishop Hugo L. Pina-Lopez, Mother Pat

Miller, all of the National Committee and John

Michael Talbot who lifted our spirits to the Lord. We

also can give thanks for the fellowship of other

Cursillistas and the learning that we received. As

you read on you will see that the Cursillo movement

is alive and well in many dioceses but is struggling or

absent in a number of dioceses as well The national

movement is struggling financially but not in spirit.

We can give thanks for those movements that are

alive and well and offer our prayers for those that are

struggling. If you just read the President’s Letter you

will see the plans for the movement to put in finances

in order to invigorate the movement throughout the

country. It will be an active and busy year ahead.

We can contribute our prayers and our funds to help

meet the goals for the year. Stay tuned to the

progress we will see when we trust the Spirit to guide

us onward.

A few months back we heard a sermon in which our

Rector indicated she felt the Kingdom of God may be

more a state of being than a physical location. I, too,

share this understanding of the Kingdom of God and

contemplate it often.

Several weeks ago, late on a Friday afternoon, I was

on my way home for the day. I was coming from the

gas pump at the Highway Patrol office on Silas

Creek Parkway where I had just topped off my

vehicle for the weekend. As I pulled to the stop bar

at the intersection of Silas Creek Parkway and Miller

Street and stopped for the traffic light I noticed

there was a small car to my left stopped in the

through lane on Miller with a school bus stopped

behind it. At first I didn’t pay this much attention,

I just sat there half listening to the radio reporter

rattle on about new developments in the Syrian

conflict, when I heard the sound of a car horn

blowing through the chatter on the radio. I

scanned the intersection to see if I could

determine from which vehicle it was coming. After

two or three impatient blasts I was satisfied it was

coming from the school bus. This seemed kind of

odd; not normal behavior for a school bus driver.

As I tried to understand why this bus driver was

blowing the horn, it dawned on me that the car

and the bus had a green light for their direction,

but the little car would not move

into the intersection. Well, the

light cycled through and

eventually I got my green left

turn arrow. As I turned onto Miller

Street, I noticed a middle aged

lady leaning out of the window of

her car, appearing in some

distress, and shouting for me to

stop. Needless to say, this was

not the first time I had been

flagged down by a motorist in my twenty-four

years, but I was in a very bad position to stop my

vehicle. So, I traveled down to the entrance to

Forsyth Tech and pulled into the parking lot. As I

looked in my rearview mirror I could see the lady

in the small car was now making a U-turn in front

of the school bus and was in hot pursuit of me. I

stopped, got out of my vehicle, and waited.

As the little silver car came to a stop in the parking lot behind me, a thin small framed woman sprang from the car in tears and immediately came toward me. I could see she was holding a scrap of paper in her hands and pointing to its words as she exclaimed in anguish: “Please, please you have to help us we’ve been driving around for two hours trying to find this place and I don’t know what to do”. She handed me the scrap of paper. I took it from her and read it: “Comp Rehab 131 Miller St. Winston-Salem”.

FIVE MINUTES IN THE

KINGDOM OF GOD

The kingdom

of God may be

any place or

every place

As I read the paper a second woman, obviously older than the first, emerged from the car talking on a cell phone. She too was distraught and when I looked toward her she held the cell phone out to me and said: “Please speak with her. She is trying to give us directions”. I took the phone and identified myself. A woman’s voice on the other end said; “Hello sir, these ladies are really in a panic, I’ve been trying to guide them to us for the last two hours”. I then ask; “where are you located? They have a Miller Street address, but what’s that near?” She said: “We are over behind the Walgreen’s just across Cloverdale on Miller.” I told her: “We’ll be there in five minutes”. I ended the call and told the ladies to follow me I would lead them to their destination. I didn’t want to give them anymore directions in their present conditions. They thanked me many times and we pulled back onto Miller Street and headed north.

When we arrived at the rehabilitation center where the elder lady had a scheduled appointment I stopped my vehicle and waited for them to find parking. As soon as the little car stopped the two again bailed out of their vehicle and came toward me in tears. I stepped out onto the parking lot to meet them and the two immediately hugged me and told me repeatedly how grateful they were for my help. I assured them they were very welcome and slowly pulled away.

As I exited the parking lot and turned south on Miller Street to head home, a profound realization came over me; this had been five minutes in the Kingdom of God. I began to analyze the short encounter. During this encounter there was only mutual respect, sincere gratitude and love exchanged; someone needed help and someone was able to help. There was no agenda for either party, no ulterior motive for any action, just a mutual regard for one another. This is what I understand the Kingdom of God to be. In the course of our lives these types of encounters happen many times and it is easy to overlook them. As I get older I find myself making a conscious effort to look for them and to savor them when they come. They are gifts of real substance and worth, and they allow us to live in God’s Kingdom that is already here.

The kingdom of God may be any place or every place.

From THE FOURTH DAY a Regional Cursillo Publication for the Diocese of North Carolina submitted by Mark Davidson, St. Clement's Episcopal, Clemmons, NC, Saturday Men's Reunion Group

The processes that the Cursillo Movement uses in forming teams (for weekends, Ultreyas, and many other tasks) share some special aspects. It is not unusual within our church to call groups of people together to accomplish a task. What is unusual is when we gather a mixture of friends, acquaintances, and strangers and ask them to work together by first loving one another, and then to utilize that context to accomplish the task. This special approach to community is a core strength of our movement.

Our group reunion meetings are where each of us gets to learn important lessons about building community. The reunion group is the smallest ‘unit of community’ that we have in Cursillo, and it is where we each have the most opportunity to interact and grow in community.

There was…

mutual respect,

sincere gratitude,

and love

exchanged.

Someone needed

help and someone

was able to help

Action:

Reunion Group = Community

1. First, We Listen. Always listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit, not only inside of you but also in the voices of those around you. Listen for when it is there. And also listen for when it is NOT there.

2. Second, We Love. Be aware of your emotional responses. Find where and how you love those around you. See their hearts and minds in action in the group and see what’s admirable in them.

Get to know the best qualities in those around you. As time goes by, you’ll also see less-than- perfect aspects of them too. We’re all human, and none of us is perfect. Understand their unique combination of strengths and weaknesses – and how they intertwine.

Sometimes, mild friction will arise. Don’t ignore it Do keep focused on the feeling of love and use that to guide you in resolving the friction. Maybe the friction points to something inside you that needs attention. Maybe it points to something outside you where you can choose to respond differently .In any case it is an opportunity to learn and grow.

3. Third, We Share. Listen to others prayerfully. Respond from your heart, gently. When it is your turn in group, share your own discoveries joyously. Whatever inspires you – share the joy and energy of that (as well as the content). Others may get inspired too! Never forget that this is where we each learn and improve how we ‘walk the walk’.

The ‘Love in Action’ aspect of community within the Cursillo Movement is something special we bring with us throughout our walk in life. Focus on God’s love and let it shine through you always!

From THE COLORS Diocese of Olympia Cursillo newsletter

During trips to Europe of recent years, David and I have visited two key Mary Magadalene sites in France; Vezelah, and Saint-Maimim-La-Saint- Bame in Provence. Both were major pilgrimage sites in the Middle Ages – Vezelay being one of the northern starting points on the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella in Spain, and Saint-Baume being on another route to Santiago from places further East via Provence.

In the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, St. Mary Magdalene has never been considered a repentant sinner. Instead she is remembered as a “Myrrh Bearer” because she was one of the women who went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus after Sabbath. After the service yesterday I was told of the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Oxford England, that states on its website that Mary Magdalene was one of “the original Spice Girls”!

It all started to make connections for me so I did a little research (thanks to my trusty dictionary and the assistance of Wikipedia) Myrrh is an “aromatic resinous exudates from the stem of various Arabian and African trees of the genus of Commiphora formerly important in perfumery and as a ingredient of incenses “ (SOED” So valuable has it been at times in ancient history that it has been equal in weight value to gold. During times of scarcity, its value rose even higher than that. It has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense and medicine – where it was recognized for its tonic and rejuvenating properties and antiseptic action.

Spice is defined as “Any of various strongly flavored aromatic vegetable substances used especially to flavor or scent food or as medicine.” (SOED) and were primarily used for flavoring, coloring or preserving food. It is said that in the middle ages the value of spices imported into Western Europe was the equivalent of a yearly supply of grain for 1.5 million people! Control of the “spice routes” became a major preoccupation of many European countries

in the days of sailing ships.

Myrrh and spice! Surely that is what we as Cursillistas are called to be in our daily lives!

The leaflet “What is Cursillo” states:

The purpose of Cursillo is to strengthen and encourage us as disciples of Christ, equipping us to become pur-poseful Christians in God’s world, and helping us to engage more deeply in the ministry and mission of the Church.

The same leaflet says that Cursillistas are people who:

..desire to make a difference for Christ in whatever situation they find themselves – at church, at work, in social situations, or within their family.

Our role as Cursillistas is to bring some of the fragrance of the Christ-life into all our areas of activity; to act as a tonic and rejuvenator in all our relationships. We are encouraged to be aware of how our words and actions can flavor our environ-ments so that Christ may be recognized in our interaction.

‘Myrrh bearers’ and ‘spice girls’ – not bad descriptions of Cursillistas.

Study: Combine Study & Group Reunion

The Group Reunion process combines daily (or at

least regular) prayer and study with a plan for action in

the world and a weekly meeting to share and compare

experiences. Let’s focus on how to take the study

piece and ‘kick it up a level’.

First, begin with prayer (always a good beginning).

This is a great time to pray for guidance and insight.

Then, as you study, pay close attention to any text or

elements that stand out for you, or that you now see in

a new way. When you find these moments, pause and

reflect deeply, especially any that grab your

sense of curiosity. ‘Listen’ to whatever is

newly highlighted, and consider: Are these

new insights for you? Are there new aspects

to research elsewhere? The first key here is

to engage – to find something that lights you

up inside. Next, verify that whatever is

engaging you is positive and healthy, that it

is not about energizing one of your flaws (we

all have them).

The next step is vital: Take what you’ve

found and share it with the others in your

reunion group. Don’t wait until you’ve

finished with whatever it is. Share it as an

ongoing project.. and share your interest..

your ENERGY about it. This energy is

contagious, and it promotes the others in

your group to find aspects that light them up

too. This is one of the many ways that the

Holy Spirit works in our lives. And when we

sometimes get the blessing of seeing this

happen for those close to us, it deepens our

own faith.

We Are Companions on a Journey

Isn’t it interesting how different words have meanings which differ with time? A current example is the word ‘gay’. When I was a boy, which could not by any stretch of the imagination be thought of as a current event, ’gay’ was a way to describe a ‘happy chappie’. Then for most of my adult life, ‘gay’ has been used as the adjective describing a homosexual. And more recently still, ‘gay’ is used by school boys to “dis”(respect ) a nerdy sort of person—”He’s sooo gay”

All this is a prelude to one of those Cursillo words whose meaning has changed with time—’Sponsor’. All our literature speaks about sponsoring pilgrims to a 3 day Cursillo weekend. Some in the Christchurch diocese came to realize that in today’s world, sponsoring has primarily to do with giving money towards a project. It may be a commercial firm paying megabucks to have their name associated with some kiwi sports team. Or it may be about supporting some child’s fundraiser as you pay vast sums when the child eats far more McDonalds hamburgers than you would have thought humanly possible.

While it is true that Cursillo Sponsors may contribute to the costs of their pilgrims, that is by no means a major component of their task. The sponsor’s role is to:

* Prayerfully consider who in their Church community might be a suitable Cursillista

* Invite and nominate a person to come to a 3-day weekend

* Maybe involve their pilgrim in their own Group

Reunion in the period leading up to the

weekend.

* Make sure that the pilgrim is taken to the weekend

and collected at the end.

* Help the new Cursillista to be integrated into the

movement; particularly ensuring they are

invited to join a Group Reunion, to a Day of

Deeper Understanding and to Ultreyas.

* Pray for the pilgrim throughout this period.

Over the last year or so Christchurch

has been toying with various words which

describe the doer of this role better than

the traditional ‘sponsor’. The current word

is ‘companion.’ I am of fairly conservative

nature, and wouldn’t myself have thought

it necessary to change the word to which

we had all become accustomed. However,

I am bound to agree that ‘companion’

does better describe the person who

accompanies a pilgrim into the Cursillo

movement.

We are, as we sing,”…companions on a

journey”. Other dioceses might like to try

the new terminology and see if it sits better

than our old word.

From KIWI CURSILLO newsletter of the Anglican Cursillo movement in New Zealand by the Rev. Rory Redmayne, Diocesan Spiritual Director

To all the dioceses that create and share their newsletters so the 4th Day magazine can enjoy their articles. It is not easy for a diocese to

produce and keep producing a newsletter so hats off to those who do!!!

A special thanks to David MacKay, Lay Director of the New Zealand Cursillo community who makes sure that their newsletter flies across the Pacific to my home. It always arrives just in the right time to include their articles in the 4th Day. And David himself flies across the Pacific from time to time to attend our Conference. He was here this year.

And another special thanks to Gail Russell who served as photographer during the Conference. She is the one who produced the pictures used in this 4th Day.

According to comments in the initial post-conference surveys, the 2012 NEC Conference was a huge success. Approximately 160 Cursillistas attended the conference that began on Thurs-day, October 25 and ended on Sunday, October 28. Highlights of the conference included:

The talk by retired Bishop Hugo L. Pina-Lopez at the Friday morning Eucharist emphasized the importance of the Cursillo movement to the future of the Episcopal Church

John Michael Talbot’s beautiful voice in song and speech was heard during the Friday night keynote address and the Saturday evening concert. He also mingled with the gathered Cursillistas and provided a special touch.

A one-day Episcopal Cursillo Leaders Workshop (ECLW) was attended by some 26 Cursillistas. Fifteen of the Cursillistas from the Diocese of Central Florida attended the ECLW only.

The seven workshops on Friday and Saturday included:

Spiritual Direction/Formation: The Rev. Alice Haynes

Technology for the Cursillo Movement: Janet Jendron, The Rev. Don Seils, The Rev. Rick Simpson

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NECC Meeting

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The National Episcopal Cursillo Committee (NECC) met at the Caribe Royal Resort and Conference Center in Orlando, Florida, on October 23-25, 2012. Following the NECC meeting, the NECC hosted the 2012 National Episcopal Cursillo (NEC) Conference on October 25-28.

NECC Committee Meeting

Following Morning Prayer on Tuesday, October 23, the NECC began a 2-½ day meeting with NEC President Holly Walker presiding. With the exception of Pattie Stegall, Laywoman Representative for the Southcentral District, and The Rt. Rev. Alan Scarfe, Bishop Liaison to the House of Bishops, all of the representatives were present. A complete list of the attendees is included at the end of these Newsnotes.

Two issues dominated the discussions and actions of both the Executive Committee and the full committee: 1) the continued operations of the NEC at a deficit and, 2) the 2012 NEC Conference, which followed the NECC meeting.

Financial The NEC ended its fiscal year (October 1-September 31) with a negative net income three of the past seven periods, as illustrated in the following chart.

On a cumulative basis, expenses have exceeded revenues by some $21,000. Dave Millar, NEC Treasurer, meets monthly expenses by using prepaid funds for the NEC Conference that falls in the next fiscal period. With a deficit of some $17,000 for the 2011-2012 fiscal period, the Executive Committee recommended a program that would lead to a zero deficit by the end of the 2013-2014 fiscal period. This plan would terminate all lease contracts (rent, equipment, etc.) by April 30, 2013, and close the NEC office in Conway, South Carolina. The NEC would then move from a paid-staff operation to a volunteer-staff operation by April 30, 2014. The dates for these milestones coincide with the dates that the current employee, Sue Davis, qualifies for Medicare, Social Security, and pension benefits.

The Very Rev. Richard E. Simpson, former Clergy Representative from the Northeast District, was appointed chairman of a committee with members from both the NECC and the Servant Community to develop a plan that would lead to a sound financial condition for the National Episcopal Cursillo. The progress of this com-mittee will be published in the NEC email blasts using MailChimp. An initial draft of the plan is expected by December 1.

Organizing for the 2012 NEC Conference The NECC faced an unprecedented challenge in 2011-12 by planning and implementing a national confer-ence without the benefit of local Cursillo community support and assistance. Adding to the challenge was contracting with John Michael Talbot to be the keynote speaker on Friday evening and the entertainment on Saturday evening. Calvin Hefner, NECC conference chairman, assigned tasks to committee members ranging from registration and certification of conference attendees to ushers at the JMT concert. President Holly Walker provided the leadership and all of the NECC members were engaged.

Betsy Neal, NEC site planner, provided invaluable assistance in coordinating with the Caribe Royale staff and John Michael Talbot’s administrative assistant. Without Betsy’s constant attention to details and presence before, during, and after all functions, chaos might have erupted.

2013 NEC Conference Plans The committee announced plans for the 2013 NEC Conference. In brief, the conference will be at the Hyatt Regency Schaumberg on October 24-27, 2013. Schaumberg is a Chicago, Illinois, suburb. The Rt. Rev. Larry Maze, retired bishop of Arkansas, is the keynote speaker and a workshop leader. Bishop Maze’s address and workshop is titled “The Dialog Between Jungian Psychology and Christian Spirituality.” Preregistration forms for the conference and the hotel are on the NEC website.

Subcommittee Meetings Each of the three committees reported on their accomplishments for 2011-12 and plans for 2012-13.

Publications Subcommittee

The Publications Subcommittee reviewed all of the Cursillo brochures; revising and updating the following four brochures:

Cursillo — A Movement of the Episcopal Church

Episcopal Cursillo Leader's Workshop

Cursillo Information Day Clergy Workshop

Cursillo — A Help On Your Spiritual Journey

This committee began the process of researching services and cost of translating the library into an ac-ceptable Spanish dialect.

The committee has identified the Clergy Talk Workbook as the first workbook to be edited. This workbook will be ready for translation into Spanish as soon as a source is identified. Thereafter, a workbook will be edited monthly and sent for translation.

Communications subcommittee

The Communications subcommittee met at each NECC meeting, as well as a minimum of once per month via Skype. Committee work included:

Updating the information on the website with regard to the 2012 NEC conference in Orlando.

Developed promotional materials for John Michael Talbot appearances.

Promoted the 2012 Annual Conference in Orlando via Mailchimp

Promoted the ECLW to be held at the Annual Conference via Mailchimp.

Promoted JMT tickets sales via Mailchimp, and in collaboration with JMT staff.

Increased visibility and content of the Mailchimp mailings.

Developed National Episcopal Cursillo promotional materials for distribution at General Conven-tion.

Members of the committee staffed the NEC booth at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Indianapolis.

Updated and maintained the NEC website throughout the year

Cursillo Leaders Development (CLD)

Our Mission Statement: Growing Christ Centered Leaders

Our Goal: Work toward healing the Episcopal Church by promoting unity, trust and respect among its

members.

The numbers

RED: 32 inactive movements YELLOW: 11 movements with issues of concern GREEN: 41 healthy movements UNREPORTED : 42

The “General Observations” from reports are typical.

Movements that are thriving have active diocesan leadership, and good parish-based Cursillo leaders.

Ideas and discussion points of action:

Create a narrative booklet on how a local movement can re-envision Cursillo. This story will be mission forward, with Cursillo playing a role in raising up people for the mission of the local congregation, region and diocese. It will also highlight how some movements transformed with great success their Cursillo weekends to address the changing times.

Build a teaching tool to help local Secretariat’s function at higher levels, i.e., Mission driven Pastoral Plan, functioning Servant Communities, Pre-Cursillo Training for sponsors... etc.

Resolved: That CLD will create tools that will aid the movement to re-envision Cursillo's mission to the church and to the world. Drafts of this work will be available at the February meeting of the NEC.

Book Reviews The committee met Tuesday evening before Compline to discuss and review Crazy Love, written by Francis Chan. Review of the book, selected by the NEC Vice President Dee Settelmeyer, resulted in lively discussion involving a greater percentage of the committee. Most found the book thought-provoking and rewarding. Pat Steele, the incoming NEC Vice President, announced that John Ortberg’s, If You Want to Walk on Water, You Must Get Out of the Boat, as the book for the committee to read before the February NECC meeting.

Worship Services The committee came together each day for worship. Lay representatives led prayers in the morning and clergy representatives celebrated Holy Eucharist. Fr. Edward Weiss planned the services and provided the worship guides. With the help of Deacon Peisha Roumas, he also made the worship service assignments.

Resignations Fr. Edward Weiss, clergy representative from the Southeast District, and Patti Stegall, laywoman representa-tive from the Southcentral District, resigned from the committee. Nominations and endorsements for their re-placements had been submitted to the NEC president.

The purpose of the ECLW is fourfold:

1. To deepen the commitment to Christ and living of a life in Christ among the Cursillo leaders in the

country.

2. To clarify the purpose and method of the

Cursillo movement as it seeks to work within

the Episcopal Church to fulfill the Great

Commandment to love God and one another

and the Great Commission to go and make

disciples of all nations.

3. To help grow new leaders for the Cursillo

movement so that it may continue to be an effective

instrument in the mission of the Episcopal Church to

“restore all people to unity with God and each other

in Christ.” (BCP 855)

4. To help diocesan Cursillo communities assess how

they live out the Cursillo method and encourage

them to explore how to do it more effectively.

The ECLW is intended for any Cursillistas

who are called to make Cursillo a major

focus of their ministry in the Church. We

encourage dioceses to identify future as

well as current leaders and to send them

to an ECLW even if it means helping to

finance their participation. Some dioceses

require attendance at an ECLW as a

prerequisite for serving on their

Secretariat. Investing in the work of

growing leaders is the best investment a

diocesan Cursillo community can make in

its own future and in the growth of the

Kingdom of God.

Would your Diocesan Cursillo

Movement benefit from

holding an ECLW?
