Anglican Cursillo Tasmania
Please note the following dates for prayer, and attendance where applicable:
2026
November 14th Ultreya, St Barnabas, Newnham. Speaker: Michelle Basalto
December 5th Secretariat meeting (ZOOM)
National Secretariat meeting
Cleveland, Queensland, Oct 16th-18th, 2026
Tasmanian Cursillo had 5 attendees at the National Secretariat meeting in Queensland in October: Lee and Raelene Weissel and Shirley Tongue as members of the National Executive, Alice Cordwell as our Diocesan representative and Ruth Thomas as an observer. David Thomas was an invisible presence as he was sadly unwell for the duration of the gathering and remained in his room, out of sight but in our prayers. John Tongue was spotted occasionally.
The gathering was a valuable time of reflection upon our theme of Pilgrims Together and what that means for each Diocese. We shared ideas, resources, successes and challenges as well as enjoying warm fellowship with one another and time with God in worship.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Lee de-commissioned Kay Self and commissioned Raelene as National Secretary, then the Rev Joy Harris as the incoming National Spiritual Advisor. Joy then de-commissioned Lee from that role which he has filled with passion and dedication for the past three years. We were also excited to have Geoff Wooden from Newcastle Diocese elected unopposed as the new National Lay Director to take over from Paul Doyle at the meeting in 2027.

Can we expect to see that rooster featuring at many future ultreyas and weekends? I hope so.
Praise God for the MW38 weekend and please continue to pray for the team and new Cursillistas that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead them through their Fourth Day.

Three Day Weekends: Please give thanks and pray for all who attended Men's and Women's 38 in Feb/March 2026. May the Holy Spirit continue to lead them through their Fourth Day; may they continue to grow in Piety, Study and Action and may they bear much fruit in their local congregations and communities.
Ultreyas: Please keep checking this page for details of upcoming ultreyas as they become available (see dates above).
Group Reunions: Are meeting, either in person or via ZOOM. If you are not already a member of a Group Reunion, may we urge you to join one. They are the primary method of keeping the flame kindled during the Three Days burning brightly. They provide encouragement, accountability and on-going fellowship. A list of currently operating groups can be found on the Members' Resources page. Please contact the Website Coordinator or Secretary with any Group Reunion meeting detail updates.
See below position descriptions for Secretariat roles that you may wish to consider prayerfully.
