To achieve this purpose, we will use Pre-Cursillo to identify active Christians having the potential to influence their environments, sending them to Three-Day Weekends to renew their Christian commitment to the responsibilities of the Baptismal Covenant and to teach the Cursillo Method; and we will use Fourth Day programs to encourage Cursillistas who have completed Three Day Weekends to carry out apostolic witness in their environments.

The Cursillo movement empowers Cursillistas to bring Christ to the world and, through a continued commitment to a Rule of Life including Piety, Study, Group Reunion, Ultreya and Spiritual Direction, enables them to persevere in the Fourth Day as Ambassadors for Christ in their environments.

To discern God’s will for the place and vision of the Cursillo Movement in The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, the Secretariat and members of the movement will work under the direction of Bishop James R. Mathes to undertake the following for a period of one year from this date:

A. Study our own movement:

1. How are we implementing the Cursillo Method?

2. How are we encouraging our members to live out their Fourth Day and evangelize their environments?

3. How can we attract younger participants?

B. Plan to carry out our ministry in these ways:

1. Develop methods of servanthood that support the Cursillo Movement; the Diocesan Strategic Plan; and reach out to the Diocesan community and the greater community.

2. Encourage participation in the Cursillo activities of Group Reunion, Ultreya and Spiritual Direction. Encourage

participation in the Servant Community as our Leaders School, operating under the direction of the Secretariat.

3. Encourage people to attend Cursillo Weekends, especially people in the following categories:

a. People in the age group of 25-49.

b. Post-newcomers (1-3 years in a church).

4. Secretariat Clergy will reach out to other Clergy in the Diocese.
