Spiritual Directors are an important part of the Emmaus or Chrysalis weekend. Weekend Spiritual Directors are selected by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Emmaus or Chrysalis Community Spiritual Director and are responsible to the board as a leader of ane Emmaus or Chrysalis weekend. As with the Lay Director, the weekend Spiritual Director must have sufficient experience, training, and ability for the job.
Because not all Emmaus/Chrysalis Clergy have the same level of formal education as called for in the new Upper Room Criteria, a certification process has been established by The Upper Room to enable current clergy to continue serving as Weekend Spiritual Directors and Assistant Spiritual Directors. Each application is reviewed on a case by case basis through our Clergy Regional Representative A link to The Upper Room Walk to Emmaus/Chrysalis Clergy Certification Process (Approved October 20, 2007 and updated October 31, 2007) is included on this page as is the Clergy Criteria for Emmaus and Chrysalis.
