CURSILLO (the name means “a short course”) is a method of revival of the church. It has come to us from the Spanish Roman Catholic Church. The purpose of the Cursillo Ministry is to convert Christians to a deeper relationship with God and to help them to understand their individual callings to be Christian leaders. This leadership may be in the workplace, at home, within social and leisure activities, or within the institutional church. The goal is simply to “Christianise” the world through the apostolic action of Christian leaders in all areas of human activity.
