THIS coming Saturday, the Anglican Cursillo Secretariat will put on three-day weekend workshop for Cursillistas in the Diocese. Topics include, “What is Sponsorship?” New and old Cursillistas will find out that it is about way more than recruiting, just as the Cursillo Movement is much more than numbers of people. Cursillo is all about transforming environments by providing the backbone for Christian life.

“Who should go to a Cursillo weekend? Individuals who are truly the backbone of their environments; have a deep personality and are able to make their own decisions and are interiorly motivated; and are mature, responsible, concerned about social conditions of our times and have the ability and desire to live in and for community; in short, natural leaders,” the Anglican Diocese said.

What is the right way for a Cursillista to go about bringing others to the Cursillo movement?

• Fruitful sponsorship brings to life the Cursillo phrase of “make a friend; be a friend; bring a friend to Christ”.

• It depends on the small group reunion as a key factor in sponsorship.

• You should speak to God about the person before speaking to the person about God.

“Remember that every Cursillista who sponsors a candidate is sort of like a god-parent to the person and has a responsibility to that candidate before, during, and especially after the Cursillo three day weekend,” the church said.
