The Presbyterian Cursillo and Pilgrimage operation manual was written by Dr. Fred Keith as part of his doctoral thesis in his course of study for a Doctor of Ministry degree from Columbia Theological Seminary - an institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  His thesis was approved by his supervisory committee at Columbia.

Presbyterian Cursillo is faithful to the teaching of scripture and to the reformed doctrine of the Presbyterian church.

Five of the weekend talks are given by PC(USA) clergy.  The rest of the talk-givers must follow tightly composed outlines that adhere to reformed theology.

Presbyterian Cursillo is in tune with the traditional teachings of the Presbyterian Church. 

Presbyterian Pilgrimage is also based on scripture and on traditional Presbyterian theology and doctrine. Since they are ecumenical organizations, the Pilgrimage groups may have a slightly broader approach than the Presbyterian Cursillo programs.            

Presbyterian Pilgrimage is in tune with the traditional teachings of the Presbyterian Church.
