What is
Emmaus?
While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near
and walked with them. -Luke 24:15
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."
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.
