The internationally growing Cursillo movement, or ""short course in
Christianity,"" founded in 1944 by Spanish Catholic lay
practitioners, has become popular among American Catholics and
Protestants alike. This lay-led weekend experience helps
participants recommit to and live their faith. Emphasising how
American Christians have privileged the individual religious
experience and downplayed denominational and theological
differences in favour of a common identity as renewed people of
faith, Kristy Nabhan-Warren focuses on cursillistas--those who have
completed a Cursillo weekend--to show how their experiences are a
touchstone for understanding these trends in post-1960s American
Christianity. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork as well
as historical research, Nabhan-Warren shows the importance of
Latino Catholics in the spread of the Cursillo movement.
Cursillistas' stories, she argues, guide us toward a new
understanding of contemporary Christian identities, inside and
outside U.S. borders, and of the importance of globalising American
religious boundaries.
