CONFERENCE: Sport and Religion: An Inquiry into Cultural Values

The Conference
In June 2004 scholars, coaches, and theologians from the United States and Europe gathered for two stimulating days to discuss the many intersections of the powerful forces of sport and religion in our culture. In October of 2005 we will meet again to continue the conversation, search for new insights and reflect on how sport and religion interact in our lives. The second international conference will examine the tensions between religion and sport, the ethics and values manifested in sport, and historical influences of religious traditions on sport.

Featured Speakers
Martin Marty, University of Chicago
Robert J. (Jack) Higgs, East Tennesee State University
Joseph L. Price, Whittier College
Christopher M. Thomforde, St. Olaf College
