Global Christian sport event thrives

The Global Congress on Sport and Christianity at Baylor University, Texas, US.

The fourth Global Congress on Sport and Christianity was held at Baylor University, Texas, from 31 July to 2 August, drawing over 250 chaplains, coaches, athletes, administrators, media members, ministry leaders, and scholars from ten countries.

Launched in 2016 at York St John University, the congress exists to bring together academic scholars and practitioners to share research and ideas on the intersection of sport and Christian faith.

After meeting at Calvin University in Michigan and Ridley Hall, Cambridge (2022), this year’s gathering marked its first return to the United States in six years.
