What is Coventry      Diocesan Cursillo?      Coventry Diocesan Cursillo 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 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 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 by holding regular group meetings (Ultreyas) in various churches throughout the       Diocese where we share fellowship, and discuss our progress.       Coventry Diocesan Cursillo is fully supported by our Diocese Bishops (please see the       Bishops' endorsements).
