Nicky and Sila Lee have been on the staff at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) since 1985. Previously Nicky studied English Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge (1973-1976). He then taught English in London and in Nagoya, Japan (1977-1982). Sila studied Fine Art at Camberwell Art College from 1974-1977. Nicky and Sila married in 1976.
In 1982 they moved to Durham where Nicky studied Theology at the university and trained for ordination in the Church of England. In 1985 Nicky was appointed curate to Sandy Millar at HTB where he and Sila ran the Alpha course.
In 1990 they took a group of 150 people from HTB to plant a new congregation in St Paul's Onslow Square. In 1996 they returned to HTB to support the spread of the Alpha Course and to develop Family Life courses. In 1996 they started The Marriage Course, an eight week course designed to help any married couple build a healthy marriage that will last a lifetime.
Since then over 1000 married couples have completed the course at HTB. The course is now being run in other locations across the UK and increasingly in other countries overseas. The Marriage Course was released on video in 2002 with a Leaders' Guide and Manual. It is now available with Chinese sub titles. The Marriage Conference, designed to equip couples to run The Marriage Course, is held twice a year at HTB.
Nicky and Sila also run The Marriage Preparation Course (for engaged couples), The Parenting Course (for parents with children aged 0-12) and The Parenting Teenagers Course (for parents with teenage children). In response to demand they have published The Marriage Preparation Course and plan eventually also to publish the Parenting Courses with manuals and videos.
The Marriage Book, based on The Marriage Course and The Marriage Preparation Course, was published in August 2000 and has sold over 43,000 copies. Nicky and Sila are currently writing The Parenting Book, based on their two parenting courses.
Nicky and Sila live in central London and have four children Kirsty, Benj, Barny and Josh.
