 The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal
program intended to strengthen the local church through the
development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's
approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and
encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a
servant of all."
History
The Walk to Emmaus is an adaptation of the
Roman Catholic Cursillo (pronounced cur-SEE-o) Movement, which
originated in Spain in 1949. Cursillo de Cristianidad means "little
course in Christianity."
About the name "Walk to Emmaus"
The Walk to Emmaus gets its name from the story
in Luke 24:13-35, which provides the central image for the three-day
experience and follow-up. Luke tells the story of that first Easter
afternoon when the risen Christ appeared to the two disciples who
were walking together along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
How to Attend
To get involved in Emmaus, each person must
have a sponsor who has already attended Emmaus him- or herself. If
you have a friend who has been to Emmaus, ask your friend to tell
you about his or her experience with the program.
