 The Purpose of
Emmaus
Emmaus aims to inspire, challenge and
equip local church members for Christian action in their
homes, churches and places of work. It provides a means by
which we can grow together in love, grace and servanthood
as members of the Body of Christ.
What
happens at Emmaus?
The “Walk to Emmaus” is a
72-hour experience (Thursday evening to Sunday evening).
This time is spent studying, discussing, worshipping and
living together at a suitable retreat center. Fifteen talks,
delivered by clergy and laity, form the basis of discussions
and projects. These present the themes of God’s Grace and
how grace comes alive in the Christian Community and
expresses itself in the world. You will have the opportunity
to celebrate Holy Communion daily and begin to understand
more fully the presence of Christ in the body of His
believers. The prayers and acts of love of a living support
community enhance this experience.
