| What
is Cursillo?
Cursillo is a movement of the whole Church, which depends
upon the co-operation of both lay people and clergy. This
range of experience enriches our worship and our fellowship.
Cursillo in England is a nationwide movement within the
Anglican Church, working with the full blessing of the Bishop
in this diocese.
Cursillo
is a Spanish word (pronounced kur-see-yo), which means,
“Short course”. The full title (Cursillo in
Christiandad) means “a short course in being a Christian”.
The Aim of Cursillo is:
"To reawaken people to the calling they received in
their baptism to be witnesses for Christ, to give them the
stimulus to plan ways of doing this, and to provide support
structures through which they can encourage each other and
hold each other accountable before God for their lives as
Christian witnesses."
Revd Canon Christopher Lewis, Cursillo, a Sabbatical Study
Report”, 1991
