What is CACS?

The Canadian Anglican Cursillo Secretariat (CACS) is the executive body of the Canadian Anglican Cursillo Movement. It is made up of ten volunteers:

• Two representatives (elected by member Movements) from each of the Ecclesiastical Provinces of:
  • Canada
  • Ontario
  • Rupert's Land
  • British Columbia
• plus a Chairperson and
• Episcopal Advisor elected by all of the delegates to the triennial National General Meeting.

CACS' Responsibility

CACS operates under a letter of agreement with the Roman Catholic Cursillo Movement in the United States, and is charged in that agreement with maintaining the "authenticity" of the Anglican Cursillo movement in Canada. In other words, we do our best to assist Diocesan movements to remain true to the founders' vision of what Cursillo is intended to do and how it is intended to function.

CACS' Authority

Since each Diocesan Cursillo movement operates under the authority of its Bishop, the role of CACS is not one of authority, but rather one of education and communication, so that the leaders of Diocesan movements will be able to make decisions based on a solid knowledge and understanding of what the Cursillo Movement is intended to achieve.
