Cuthbert visited Carlisle in 685AD (the foundation stone by the Carliol door has this date on it!). He is well known as being a missionary...sharing the good news about the story of Christ. He is also credited with founding the first school in Carlisle. Since that date there has always been education in Carlisle.
Cuthbert also spread good news when he was chosen to be the person that would help the church of the day go through a difficult period of change.

(Jesus said) “God's Spirit is on me he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the burdened free, to announce, "This is God's year to act!"”
Luke 4:18
Reflection…
What do you think it means to share the good news?
Where in today’s world is, or should there be, good news of release from burdens?
How do we prepare for change?
