Members of the Leicester Diocesan Cursillo community recently attended the British Anglican Cursillo Conference in Northamptonshire, gaining fresh encouragement and ideas for supporting faith across the Diocese.

Cursillo (Spanish for “short course”) is a well-established Christian movement that offers a simple, powerful way of deepening faith. It is not a replacement for church life, but a companion to it – designed to support both lay people and clergy in their spiritual journey.

Through a relaxed Cursillo weekend centred on prayer, study, and action, new participants are invited to explore intentional Christian living and build lasting friendships. Many find the experience both renewing and transformative, helping them live out their faith more fully in everyday life.

Clergy and lay leaders recently gathered for a Bishop’s Study Day, exploring how our faith inspires engagement with today’s social and political challenges.
