What is 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.
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.
