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 layled weekend experience helps participants recommit to and live their faith. Emphasizing how American Christians have privileged the individual religious experience and downplayed denominational and theological differences in favor of a common identity as renewed people of faith, Kristy NabhanWarren focuses on cursillistasthose who have completed a Cursillo weekendto show how their experiences are a touchstone for understanding these trends in post1960s American Christianity.Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork as well as historical research, NabhanWarren 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 globalizing American religious boundaries.
