Who Do I NOT Sponsor?

 

Emmaus can be wrong for a person because of his or her religious background or emotional condition.

 

These persons would include:

 

1. Non-Christians and people with no relationship to the Church of Jesus Christ.
2. People who are not currently active members of a church.
3. People who are undergoing an emotional crisis or health problems.
4. People who decide not to make a Walk after being presented the opportunity.
5. Christians whose theology and/or practice is notably different or incompatible with the traditional theology and practice presented by the Walk to Emmaus.
6. 'Church-hoppers' and 'soap boxers'.
7. People who are always looking for another spiritual high to help them 'arrive'.

 

 

 

Unwise sponsorship eventually will produce a harvest that is more a burden for the church than a blessing, a movement, which has become a 'religious fringe group' or a parachurch apart from the established church in the community.
