Cursillo Is a Movement Which

WAIAPU ANGLICAN CURSILLO STRATEGIC PLAN

2017

Cursillo is a movement which:

·  supports the mission of the Anglican church in Aotearoa-New Zealand;

·  came to Waiapu in 2011; and

·  is overseen by the Bishop

Cursillo operates through:

·  lay leadership, assisted by clergy.

·  Three-Day Cursillo courses (single-gender or mixed-gender) - one or two per year in different regions of the Diocese.

·  course participants supported by a Cursillo veteran and their priest-in-charge, maximum 14 (HB) and 20 (BP).

·  forward gifting of course fees to pay for future participants.

·  one-day events to refresh lay ministry commitment.

·  a web of Group Reunions to stimulate active discipleship.

·  its own resources, human and financial, to carry through its commitments.

In 2017 Cursillo in Waiapu will:

·  liaise with the Diocesan Bishop/Bishop’s representative.

·  strengthen lay leadership, and transition new members to Secretariat positions.

·  promote Cursillo throughout the Diocese as an opportunity for spiritual development.

·  attract clergy to the Cursillo experience for their ongoing support and commitment to developing lay leadership within the Church.

·  consolidate links with Tikanga Māori to strengthen bi-cultural understandings and practices.

·  offer a Combined (mixed gender) Three-Day Cursillo in Hawkes Bay (7 – 10 September at Riverbend Centre, Te Aute Rd. Hastings).

·  attract up to 14 attendees (laity and clergy) to the Three-Day Cursillo.

·  run a Day of Deeper Understanding (DDU) in Hawkes Bay on 28 October.

·  organise two regional gatherings called Ultreyas: BOP on 25 March, and HB on 12 August.

·  grow and support the web of Group Reunions.

·  review policies, heed advice, and monitor resourcing needs for 2017-2018 planning.

Cursillo helps us as Waiapu Anglicans to:

·  renew our commitment to Christ through being challenged in our journey of faith.

·  proclaim the Good News by sharing the Gospel and telling our faith stories.

·  receive training and resourcing for our Lay Ministry beyond the church.

·  discover our gifts of ministry and find ways to serve our communities through prayer, action and loving service.

·  invigorate worshipping communities to be open, welcoming and bi-cultural.

Through Cursillo we make Jesus known.
