LAST week, the Bahamas Anglican Men Cursillo Movement hosted their 25th conference. The rector for BAMC #25 was Trevor Bethel, assisted by David Ferguson.
The event was held under the theme: The Great Commission taken from the book of Matthew Chapter 28 vs 19-20. Cursillo is the original three-day movement and has since been licenced for use by several mainline Christian denominations, some of which have retained the trademarked Cursillo name while others have modified its talks/methods and given it a different name.
The Cursillo focuses on showing Christian lay people how to become effective Christian leaders over the course of a three-day weekend.
The weekend includes 15 talks, some given by priests and some by lay people, those talks are called “rollos”. The major emphasis of the weekend is to ask participants to take what they have learned back into the world, on what they call the “fourth day”. The method stresses personal spiritual development, as accelerated by weekly group reunion (after the weekend).
