Eduardo Bonnin wrote this book. History of a Charism reflects the living trajectory that the Foundational Charism of the Cursillos in Christianity Movement has been following since its beginnings and the difficulties it has encountered throughout its history to keep it true to its identity. The correspondence held with Fr. Cesareo Gil explains it in detail. The truth of the facts always comes to the surface because it is true, even though many novels have been written about it. I have the desire and hope that someday these realities, the roots from which the motivation, the Method, and the style of our Movement have been emerging, will be considered. God willing, this effort will help Cursillos continue with more vitality and strength in their normal growth from the stem that gives its intention and meaning, which is to spread Good News that God, in Christ, loves us throughout the world.

Eduardo’s Thinking: The Cursillos in Christianity Movement is something that is given to someone, or some, for all. it is for all of humanity. One of the ideas we submitted to the Hierarchy was that Cursillo had to be for everyone, and that people had to go together: workforce employees, university students, businesspeople, and people from rural areas. The Hierarchy was pleased with the idea of doing something to approach the faraway.
