What is Coventry Diocesan Cursillo? It is a member of The British
Anglican Cursillo Council, which in turn is part of a worldwide
organisation, originating in Majorca. Cursillo (pronounced
kur-see-yo) is a Spanish word meaning a short course, providing a
method by which Christians are empowered to grow through prayer,
study and action and enabled to share God's love with everyone.
In this Diocese these weekend courses (or Cursillos) are held at
Offa House, (Offa House web site in Links), and run in early May
and early November, from either Thursday to Sunday or Friday to
Monday. During these days we live together, listening to talks given
by people both lay and ordained, on many subjects concerning our
Christian life. The whole course,both before and during, is covered
by constant prayer by many people both on and off site. We also
provide our own entertainment, and of course the food at Offa house
is well known for its excellence.
The weekend is not an end itself, but leads us into the Fourth Day,
the rest of our lives, where we support and encourage each other in
working for our Lord in our respective churches and environment.
We have regular group meetings (Ultreya) in various churches
throughout the Diocese where we share fellowship, and discuss our
progress. It is not a requirement for people to be a member to attend
these meetings,
Coventry Diocesan Cursillo is fully supported by our Diocese
Bishop's.
