Yale Center For Faith and Culture
In 2003 Volf founded the Yale Center for Faith and Culture housed at Yale Divinity School. The goal of the center, which he still directs, is to promote the practice of faith in all spheres of life through theological research and leadership development. The goal corresponds to Volf’s abiding interest in “theological ideas with legs.” For the most part, various activities of the Center, housed in discrete “Programs” and “Initiatives,” have mirrored Volf’s own long standing theological interests (“God and Human Flourishing,” “Ethics and Spirituality in the Workplace,” “Reconciliation Program,” “Adolescent Faith and Flourishing,” “Faith and Globalization”).

Their success lay in their parallelism to the course of thought, which found in them an unobstructed channel; and the wonders of which they were the visible conductors seemed to their eye their deed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.”
