Call to Shalom is a series of conversations about what it means and takes to be agents of true thriving in particular fields, communities, and this cultural moment.
Through multimedia storytelling, we seek to amplify, curate, and facilitate stories that will inspire hope and show how thinkers and doers are practicing shalom in their own communities. We bring together thought-leaders to share their own vocational and personal journeys of seeking out this biblical call that will inspire and equip practitioners.
It is hosted by Ormond Center at Duke Divinity School.

Winn Collier shares about Eugene Peterson’s quest to be fully human, and why he has given so much of his life devoted to this pastor. Learn about spiritual geography, the holiness of words, and discovering how becoming more like God means becoming more truly human. Winn tells how we need women and men to sift after the scent of the Spirit with courage and boldness, to go out ahead in darkness, their capacity to sift after the scent of the Spirit with courage and boldness.
Winn serves as the Director of The Eugene Peterson Center for Christian Imagination at Western Theological Seminary. Winn loves the church and beauty and all the things that make up being human in God’s verdant, sacred world. A pastor for over 25 years, Winn was the founding pastor of All Souls in Charlottesville, Virginia, and also serves as the founding director of The Genesis Project, a community providing circles of friendship and contemplation for pastors and writers.
