What Should I Know About Camino?

• Camino is not a substitute for the Church. It is a means of renewing Christians in their faith, that they might more effectively serve their Church. Camino is a Spanish word meaning "way." Thus a Camino in Christianity is an experience in "a way of Christian faith."
• The Camino movement originated as "Cursillo" (meaning "short course") in Majorca, Spain, in the 1940’s as a means for reviving Christian commitment. Though originally a Roman Catholic movement, is has become a worldwide ecumenical movement in Christianity.
