ED: About Emmaus Walk, David flick wrote [Quote] I went primarily out of self-defense. Several of the pastors in my association had gone on walks and worked as team members and I wanted to see for myself what this program was about.
Which leads me to ask; David are you now recomending those pastors as spritual mentors? This sounds strange in light of your prior dicussions of pastors in that association.
David also said [quote]Ed you spoke without much knowledge when you talked of a "Methodist warm-over of a Catholic program." While the Emmaus Walk is patterned after the RCC Cursillo, it's not uniquely Methodist. It's very ecumenical. In the part of Oklahoma where I went on my walk, there were numerous denominations involved, with the predominant denomination being SBC.]
Ed: And David did you note that I softened that warmover to (adaptaion) which is the used used in the Upper Room Discription of the program?
As far as the Emmaus walk not being "uniquely Methodist" I would ask in whose name are the copy writes for the material?
And for you to use "there were numerous denominations involved, with the predominant denomination being SBC" as support for the program sounds stange to my ears.
I am not Knocking nor have I knocked Emmaus Walk. I stated my reasons for not being enthused about Michales inital suggestion, and raised additional questions, stemomg from the protest of my inital statement.
