Lay Director's Report
There has been more than one highlight for Lincoln Cursillo over recent months!
On 22nd November we had our second Myers Briggs training day, about how different personality types bump into, and cope with, stress. This was led by the Revs Judy & Chris Craig Peck, who kindly travelled up from the Peterborough diocese, where Judy is the Diocesan Spiritual Director. They did some useful revision of character traits, and we had great fun thinking about how different scenarios affect different people, as well as working through how we might deal with those responses.
Then on 16th December Jeff Wilson and I were commissioned as Spiritual & Lay Directors of Lincoln Cursillo by Bishop Christopher. This was a short but very moving service held in the Chapel of The Old Palace, based on wording supplied by BACC. It was the first time our Diocesan Officers have been authorised publicly by the Bishop, and it is difficult to describe just how special that felt to us! I have been in office for nearly two years now, but it was very affirming to have this officially recognised as a recognised ministry within the diocese. You will know that Cursillo can only operate within a diocese with the blessing of the current Bishop, and it was a privilege to receive the right hand of friendship from Bishop Christopher. We hope and pray that the Cursillo method will be recognised as a valid option of deepening our relationship with Christ that others may access during the Diocesan Year of Discipleship.
Into January 2015, and the 20th Anniversary of the inauguration of Cursillo within Lincoln Diocese! The first "Declaration of Trust" was signed on 22nd January 1995, by Peter Godden, John Tooze, Lesley Sleight and Stephen Barker. Of course much work had taken place behind the scenes by many people before this document was finalised. We celebrated on 3rd January 2015 at The Old Palace, with many lovely guests from our own diocese and beyond. Our National President, Sally Hanniker-Major, and our National Spiritual Director, Revd Hugh Burgess, came to support us, as well as to lead the morning training session about "Servant Community." (There is a report about this elsewhere in the Imp Sheet.) Also present were representatives from our neighbouring Cursillo dioceses of Southwell & Nottingham, Leicester and York. All the previous Lay and Spiritual Directors of Lincoln Cursillo over the past 20 years were invited to attend, and we were particularly pleased to welcome Hall and Sarah Speers who had travelled up from London. (Hall was SD from 1999 - 2004.) We were also delighted to welcome Revd Stephen Hoy, our Diocesan Spirituality Officer. He gave his greetings and congratulations, especially mentioning our 4th day Rule of Life. We watched our new publicity DVD about Cursillo, produced by Adam Simcox. (www.uncannyfilms.com) This was the first viewing for many people. We continue to wow ourselves with how well it turned out, and pray that it might bear fruit in giving more information about Cursillo, and also in encouraging more Pilgrims to attend an event and continue into the 4th Day of Discipleship.
Hugh led our celebratory service of Holy Communion in the Chapel, which was typically joyful! And as for the Welsh harmonies ... ! I was able to share other greetings from people not able to attend, and then followed a time of indulgence in some shared reminiscences, various group photos, and finally a welcome cuppa and slice of birthday cake!
All these occasions have reminded me of what a privilege it is to be your current Lay Director, building on the past and hopefully working towards the future.
As I have said before, it is God's work, only possible in His strength.
Ultreya! Liz
The Fourth Day continues in a New Year
Yes, we have survived to see another year! Praise the Lord.
As you will read elsewhere in this Imp Sheet, Liz Lilley and I were commissioned as Lay Director and Spiritual Director, respectively, in December last year. I believe that by doing this, Bishop Christopher affirmed Lincoln Diocesan Cursillo as part of the Diocesan commitment to growing in faith, confidence and joy.
The occasion was itself a service of dedication to the ideals of both our diocese, and the Cursillo movement. As Cursillistas, we are disciples of Jesus Christ, and as such it is our duty and our joy to proclaim our faith by the Cursillo tenets of prayer, study and action.
I was happy that Bishop Christopher chose to commission us in the chapel in the Edward King Centre. As many of you know, it is very atmospheric in the chapel. It always seems that the prayers of hundreds and hundreds of Christian worshippers have seeped into the very walls over the centuries. The Eucharist held in that chapel at the Winter Event in January, continued that tradition of worship with a joyful service, at which the Revd. Hugh Burgess, the National Spiritual Director, presided. Both Hugh Burgess and Sally Henniker-Major (President of the British Anglican Cursillo Council) gave excellent presentations at the Event.
I commend to you the Lincoln Facebook page. It's a private Facebook group for members of Lincoln Cursillo. You can just view it to see what's being discussed or you can add your news, photos, thoughts, prayer requests etc. that only members of the group can see & read. It is called "CursilloLincs" and ably administered by Hilary Barrett.
In April, I'm booked in for a Cursillo leaders Workshop at Stone in Staffordshire. It is particularly recommended for anyone who has any leadership role in Cursillo, lay or ordained, before or as soon as possible after taking office. So I thought I'd better go as soon as possible. I'm hoping to come back full of vim and vigour, having been suitably informed and refreshed. Seriously though, I'm looking forward to an inspiring spiritual experience.
My prayer for you all, this new year of 2015, is to live a Christian life to the full, enjoying the blessings which God provides. One of those blessings is Cursillo.
So again as Dickens' "Tiny Tim" says "God bless us, each and every one."
Commissioning of Jeff Wilson and Liz Lilley
Bishop Christopher undertook one of the less familiar services of his office when he commissioned Revd Jeff Wilson as Spiritual Director and Liz Lilley as Lay Director for the Cursillo movement in the Diocese of Lincoln for 2015.
The Bishop commended Jeff and Liz for their dedication to working towards Christian revival in Lincolnshire. He quoted Archbishop Justin Welby, saying that the church cannot be rejuvenated from outside, but must change from within. This rejuvenation, he said, would take place through spiritual regrowth, rooted in prayer and study, such as is encountered in Cursillo. He spoke about each Christian's lifelong journey, growing and developing in faith, and commented that new growth in the Diocese is rooted in the people it serves, springing from those roots as the diocese grows in faith, confidence and joy.
Liz Lilley commented: "It was so encouraging to be acknowledged and affirmed by our diocesan Bishop, something that has not happened at Lincoln before. I was moved to have the Bishop extend to me the right hand of fellowship. Within Lincoln Cursillo we are pleased to be able to provide another method of deepening people's commitment to Christ, especially as we approach the Year of Discipleship together."
De Colores Hilary Barrett
At our Winter Event on 3rd January, we had the privilege of hearing our National President, Sally-Hanniker-Major, and our National Spiritual Director, Rev Hugh Burgess, talking to us about Servant Community. I had asked for their input because it had long been on my mind that we were not fully understanding this "layer" of service as Cursillistas, which differs from that of Secretariat.
I have recently read an article where someone complained about being on her own on Christmas Day and no one inviting her to join them. However, no one knew because she told no one. Once people knew the situation she received several invitations.
I have been able to attend both the Summer Event and Ultreya by asking if anyone in my reunion group can possibly bring me back if I get there or take me. Both events had a group convenors meeting before so involved me being there before everyone else.
At a group reunion meeting we were all encouraged by Liz to get together and share transport to events. Several people arranged to do this for the Ultreya. However, one driver had to drop out but within 24 hours God had given us another driver and a dog sitter so that everyone could still go.
I have learned that I can't sit back and wait for someone to offer but have to ask if I want a lift. I can't expect other people to think about me when they have other things to think about. I remember at my weekend how everybody was so willing to help and nothing was to much trouble for anyone. I therefore do not understand when a Cursillo member says they don't like to ask.

In the morning before the Ultreya there was a Reunion Conveners meeting with Liz
Susanne Wills writes:
Both of these were very good events although the numbers were very low.
The group convenors meeting in the morning was most encouraging and one of the best one I have attended. I feel that these meetings are beginning to take off now and will be an important part of Cursillo in the future.
After a brilliant service in the great church followed by a super bring and share lunch we heard a fantastic witness talk and responses.
Both events had so much care, love and fellowship that we all came away feeling we had had a great day. If you were not there you missed out on a wonderful occasion.

Life's journey can be seen as a pilgrimage.
As we travel we see and are helped by signs.
An arrow or sign post guides us in the right direction.
When they are missing we find deep comfort when we find them again.
What arrows do you follow?
Who or what do you look to in life to point the way?
As a pilgrim we need a stick to help support us as we journey.
We are encouraged and helped by our travel companions.
Who are the people who are walking sticks in your life's journey?
Are you a walking stick?
As pilgrims we have a rucksack to carry our things.
Do we realise how much everything weighs
and how much each thing counts.
In your journey through life have you added things to your rucksack?
What can you take out, what excessive baggage are you carrying?
No pilgrim is free from pain of any sort.
We have to learn how to cope with our pain.
How do you face the pain of life?
Do you have life wounds which need to be dealt with?
Like the path we follow the grooves of a scallop shell
all meet at a single point.
That point which we are all striving to.
Are you guided on your way?
Who are you guiding through life's pilgrimage?
There are posts marking where we have been and where we are going.
Some have been at good times and some at poor times.
Which posts do you remember?
At poor times who helped or who are you helping?
Remember, Christian soul, that one is and every day you have
God to glorify
Jesus to imitate
A soul to save
A body to honour
Sins to repent of
Virtues to practise
Hell to shun
Heaven to gain
Eternity to prepare for
Time to profit by
Neighbours to serve
The world to transform
Creation to enjoy
Evil to combat
Temptations to overcome
Death, perhaps, to suffer
Judgement to undergo
And in all things thanks to render
To the God in whose image you were made.

This story was recounted to us recently on a leisurely drive to Kariba. We thought you would enjoy it...
It was a vervet monkey. Gray fur, cute big eyes, tiny fingers and a charming personality. But as it became an adult, he turned monkeyish—swinging through the rafters of the office's thatched roof, screaming at innocent passersby, and raiding the refrigerator anytime the office staff looked the other way.
I told her not to keep that thing as a pet. "Monkeys aren't pets. They're meant to be seen from afar. Enjoyed at a glance as they pester one another and eat a nice, ripe banana. Not brought in as part of the family."
"But he's one of us now…" she replied.
Indeed. And I think he actually thought that he was human. Nasty little thing.
Anyway, one day, I was on a phone call with the largest distributor of paper goods in the area. He and I were about to ink a large deal. It was going to be grand. As we were negotiating and going back and forth, we had a few disagreements about some of the terms. Nothing major, just a typical, lively, business discussion.
I was in my office chair that was on a swivel. I turned the chair away from my desk.
Then it happened, Clifton, the monkey, came swinging through the rafters. He flew through the air from the roof and slammed down onto my desk, flinging my paperwork every which way. And making a rather large commotion.
In a flabbergast moment, I cupped my hand over the telephone's handset and shouted at the top of my lungs, "WOULD SOMEONE COME AND GET THIS EFFING MONKEY OUT OF HERE!"
The office ladies came running and showed Clifton back to the rafters. Apologizing for the unruly vervet's behavior.
Crisis averted. (Or so I thought.)
I returned to my colleague on the phone. "I'm sorry about that…I know you wouldn't believe, but I had a monkey swinging through the rafters…"
I quickly tried to explain, but he would have none of it. The damage was done. Clifton had ruined my big deal.
It wasn't funny in the moment, but I persisted and invited my new business enemy over for tea and we connected. I explained the situation. Then, introduced him to Clifton. And apologized profusely.
We shared a laugh and this gentleman became one of my best friendships in the business world.
Crisis will always come. It's a given. You can't avoid it in most cases. But you can respond to it, turn the tables on it, and use it to your advantage in creative ways.
Our friend in the story created a strong business ally due to a bizarre monkey mishap.
Use Clifton to your advantage.

During the actual expedition of the German research vessel Poseidon of IFM-Geomar, the SeaBeam System 3050 from L-3 ELAC Nautik, recently installed onboard, reached peak values regarding depth performance and coverage with a beam width of 1.5 by 2 degrees.
On the journey to the Black Sea, where the system was used for the detection of methane bubbles within the SUGAR project, the system reached a depth performance of more than 3.400 m and a coverage of more than 5.000 m, thus exceeding the calculated values of 3.000 m (depth performance) and 3.500 m (coverage) significantly. The technological top performance and reliability of our SeaBeam system was thus proven impressively once again.
