1] What is the Walk to Emmaus?
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."
2] How much does it cost?
The cost is $240, which includes all
meals from Thursday evening through Sunday lunch, as well as luxurious dorm-style
sleeping accomodations. Scholarships are available.
3] What are the requirements
to attend a walk?
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. Your friend can help
you decide whether or not you would find an Emmaus experience helpful.
4] What happens on a Walk
to Emmaus?
The core of the walk is a series of fifteen short talks
that are given by lay and clergy on various topics related to God's grace, Christian
discipleship, and the true meaning of being part of the "body of Christ".
5] Can my spouse and I attend
the same walk?
The "Walk to Emmaus" is not co-ed. Men and women
attend separate retreats.
6] What makes the Walk to
Emmaus different from other spritual retreats?
Unlike most other retreats that are meant to be attended more than once, the
Walk to Emmaus is a "once in a lifetime" experience.
7] Why can't I keep my cell
phone and watch?
Cell phones would be quite disruptive to the cloistered
retreat environment, and a watch would remind you about what you would be
doing if you were not attending a walk.
8] When do the walks start and end?
Thursday
6:00 pm - Pilgrim arrival, unloading, registration 7:00 pm - Potluck dinner starts when all have arrived 8:00 pm - Sendoff to weekend start, Sponsor's Hour follows Saturday 8:00 pm - Candlelight Sunday 4:15 pm - Sponsors gather pilgrim belongings 4:30 pm - Closing 9] Where can I get more
