FRANCIS, Leslie J.  and  SMITH, Greg. Learning relationships: Church of England curates and training incumbents applying the SIFT approach to the Road to Emmaus. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.4, pp.1-11. ISSN 2072-8050.  https://doi.org/10.4102/hts.v73i4.4546.

This study invited curates and training incumbents attending a 3-day residential programme to function as a hermeneutical community engaging conversation between the Lucan post-resurrection narrative concerning the Road to Emmaus and the learning relationship in which they were engaged. Building on the SIFT approach to biblical hermeneutics the participants were invited to work in type-alike groups, structured first on the basis of the perceiving process (sensing and intuition) and second on the basis of the judging process (thinking and feeling). This approach facilitated rich and varied insights into the Emmaus Road narrative and into the theme of learning relationships.
