The Calling

The Calling is a multiple-part documentary series produced by The Kindling Group and Daniel Alpert. The series will share the journeys of a small group of extraordinary Americans from six different faith traditions - a Catholic, a Muslim, an Evangelical Christian, a Jew, a Buddhist and a Presbyterian - who have decided to enter the clergy.

An in-depth exploration of modern faith from the perspectives of its future leaders, The Calling begins with the subjects' first steps across the threshold of their academies, follows them through years of study and training, and continues into their early practice as ordained religious professionals.

Previous films of series Executive Producer, Daniel Alpert, have been nominated for Academy and national Emmy Awards, and have aired on PBS, HBO, A&E and on television and at festivals around the world. The Kindling Group is a nonprofit organization with a mission of creating enlightening, innovative and engaging documentary films and promoting the civic and educational impact of such films.
