This lay-led 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 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.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing 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 globalizing American religious boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
