Welcome!
| Prayer
of the Holy Spirit |
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts
of your faithful and kindle in us
the fire of your love. Send forth
your Spirit and we shall be created
and you shall renew the face of the
earth.
O God, who by the light of the Holy
Spirit did instruct the hearts of
the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be
truly wise and ever enjoy his consolations.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. |

Welcome to the web site for North Carolina Episcopal
Cursillo. We are a group of Episcopalians eager
to develop lay leadership across our diocese.
Cursillo is one method for training, supporting
and ongoing development of Christian leadership.
The Cursillo method contains two main components:
- a 3-day weekend filled with 15 talks, group
discussions, worship and fun... and
- the 4th-day that represents how we live out
the Christian life in support of one another.
There are a lot of Spanish terms like Ultreya
and DeColores that you will see throughout these
pages – for more info on what these terms
mean and about Cursillo and its history, go to
What is Cursillo? The
secretariat is the governing body of the movement
in this diocese.

How to make a donation
The NC Cursillo movement is currently short of funds. Every Secretariat member has donated $25 in an attempt to meet this shortfall. Please prayerfully consider a contribution in support of NC Cursillo. Any amount can be used.
Cursillo is supported by contributions from people
like you. You may give in three ways:
- The Harold Eisner Fund is set aside for scholarships
for the 3-day weekend and can be used for candidates
or team members.
- The Merry Walker Clergy Fund supports clergy who act as weekend Spritiual Directors. Often, clergy must pay for the weekend without parish support and even pay for a supply priest.
- The General Fund supports the overall expenses
of Cursillo, mailings and newsletter production,
this web site, supplies for the weekend and so
forth.
Please consider offering a donation by sending
your check to NCEC:
