IN THE 11 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF THE RIO GRANDE Cursillo: Beyond Back to the Mountain By Ms. Cindy Davis Nearly 30 Cursillistas (people who have been on a Cursillo, or other 3-Day renewal weekend) met for Ultreya and the Back to the Mountain Weekend at the Bosque Center on November 16-17. Cursillo (a fancy word meaning “short course in Christianity”) is a renewal ministry that empowers lay leaders in the church. For the past few years, the movement has been on hiatus in the Diocese of the Rio Grande, but new life is being breathed into this ministry with the support of Bishop Vono and the vision of the Acting Secretariat. The Back to the Mountain weekend included music, shared meals, renewing of friendships and meeting new friends, as well as worship and discussion. Participants heard a series of lay talks focusing on the “Three-Legged stool” of Piety, Study, and Action buttressed by the ongoing experience of Reunion Groups. After experiencing the amenities at the Bosque Center, the group was unanimous in supporting the idea of having a Cursillo weekend at the Bosque Center next fall. If you have questions about Cursillo, contact Ken Davis, Secretariat Convenor, the Rev. Colin Kelly, Chaplain, or anyone who has attended a previous Cursillo event. Further info about Cursillo in the Diocese can be found at www.CursillooftheRioGrande.blogspot.com. Cursillistas sing along in the Bosque Center dining room. Chaplain Kelly offers Eucharist There Still Time to Register Trinity Conference: the Radical Christian Life The Diocese and St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Albuquerque have joined as a partner site for the Trinity Institute’s 42nd National Theological Conference on the topic of “Radical Christian Life: Equipping Ourselves for Social Change.” The Sr. Joan Chittister teleconference will be offered at the Bosque Center, 6400 Coors Boulevard, Albuquerque, on January 12, 2013. The conversation leader will be Sister Joan D. Chittister, OSB, and she will be supported by conference preacher Rabbi Darrent Levine. “Our task is now to be radical Christian communities in the here and now, not fossils of a bygone reality, not leftovers from an earlier golden age. Now we need new wisdom and a new kind of struggle to determine what we must be and do in the midst of these changing times,” said Sister Chittister. The forces of globalization demand that we rethink what it means to be a community and where our mutual responsibilities lie. In her return to Trinity Institute, Sister Joan, a visionary spiritual voice in America for over thirty years, as well as an accomplished author, social psychologist and communications theorist, will offer tools for making the vital connection between contemplation and social action. At the Bosque Center tools for contemplative discernment, personal and communal spiritual practices, and faithful engagement will be shared in small group creative work sessions. Participation is open to clergy and laypersons of all faith traditions. Cost is $30, payable to St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. Scholarship assistance is available. Lunch will be served. Cost is $30. For more information, or to register, visit www.all-angels.com or call 505-345-8147. ECF Fellowship Partners Program 2013 Application Process Open!

Preaching is a focal point for congregational ministry, and by analyzing preaching one can gain new insight into the whole of ministerial leadership, and discover ways that preaching can be more effective in shaping ministry overall. The course registration form, the syllabus, and a course handout is available on the diocesan website at: http://www. dioceserg.org/pages/view/bishops_school_for_ministry. Persons interested also may contact the Rev. Canon Brian Winter at fatherbrian@stchadsabq.org. One of the principal tools for our analysis of preaching in this course will be examining your body’s experience in preaching, proceeding from the principle that everything that is happening in your preaching—in relationship to self, text, God, and congregation—is lodged in your body, so that by attending to your body’s experience in preaching you can gain new insight into your preaching and your ministry in general. Moreover, this principle suggests that changing the body’s experience in preaching is one means toward a holistic transformation of ministry overall. Thus the course will also engage our bodies to facilitate this process of transformation.
