Since 2016, the triennial Global Congress on Sport and Christianity (GCSC) has provided an interdisciplinary and collaborative space for meaningful exploration of sport and Christianity among scholars and practitioners. The Program Committee for the fourth GCSC seeks to continue the conversation. We invite proposals featuring research, scholarship, and/or reflection on sport and Christianity, in all of its forms. Proposals are welcome from all backgrounds and communities, with the hope that our gathering can be a truly global and diverse meeting:

Submissions on sport and Christianity, in all of its forms, are invited from scholars across a range of related disciplines (i.e., theology, religious studies, kinesiology, psychology, history, philosophy, ancient and modern languages, literature, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, economics, and business) and from practitioners in fields such as: sports ministry and mission, sports chaplaincy, counselling, social work, and pedagogy/coaching.

The Second Global Congress on Sport and Christianity invites high quality work on sport and Christianity from scholars in fields such as sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, philosophy, theology, religious studies, kinesiology, psychology, history, ancient and modern languages, literature, economics, and business; or from practitioners in fields such as sport ministry, mission work, and social work.

This call for abstracts focuses on new research associated with the historical relationship between sport and Christianity. There is growing scholarly interest in this topic, as evidenced by the recent inaugural global congress on sport and Christianity held at York St John University in the United Kingdom, where a conference strand was devoted to historical perspectives.
