What is Cursillo?  Cursillo

Cursillo is a Spanish word for a 'short course'. It has become the name of a worldwide movement in several denominations of the Christian Church. Within the Anglican tradition, it seeks to deepen the spiritual awareness and commitment of involved members of our Church.


 
Cursillo provides:
* A three-day 'live-in' course in Christian living.
* Ongoing support, and encouragement for growing in the faith.
* A challenge to live an active Christian life wherever we find ourselves.

 

Who's involved?

The movement is a ministry of the whole Church with Lay people and Clergy working together, under the guidance of the Diocesan Bishop. Cursillo aims to provide support and encouragement within existing Church organisations and does not aim to supplement or supplant them.
Cursillo also provides many opportunities for leadership development and training.

 

                                            
    

What will the Cursillo Three Days be like?

The weekend provides:
* An experience of living in a Christian community supported by prayer.
* Talks and discussions, worship services and times of reflection.
* Table groups, prayer, fellowship, singing, fun and laughter.
* Separate weekends for men and women.                           

After the Weekend - the Fourth Day

The aim of the three days is for people to return home with a greater commitment to serve God in their everyday lives, supported by the prayer of a caring community. The Cursillo Movement offers:
* Continued support in a small group of friends (Group Reunion).
* Diocesan or regional gatherings of the small groups for worship, witness and fellowship at regular occasions, called 'Ultreyas'.
