Walk to Emmaus UK

Walk to Emmaus Information Flyer

The Walk to Emmaus relates the text in The Gospel of Luke, of the Risen Christ appearing to two who were walking along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus
(Luke 24 : 13-35) see on the road.

This text provides the image for Emmaus, a program of the Upper Room Division of the Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church.

The Walk to Emmaus calls for and renews Christian Disciples within an ecumenical setting.

This event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Although it is usually held at a retreat centre, Emmaus is not a "retreat" in which one spends hours in silence, meditation, reading and relaxation.

It involves three concentrated and very enjoyable days. Discussions are centre on fifteen presentations led by laity and clergy around the theme of God's grace, and how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and expresses itself in the world.
