Huddling with God
Tom Krattenmaker has an interesting story anchoring the home page of
Salon this
morning. "Going Long for Jesus" takes an in-depth look at how
evangelical Christian chaplains are embedded with nearly 100
basketball, football and baseball teams to the dismay of some players
and fans. Krattenmaker shows us the influence of these chaplains from
post-game prayer circles on the 50-yard lines to players who thank God
for helping them make the game-winning shot at the buzzer. This is an
article with a strong point of view that raises fascinating questions
about the mixture of religion and sports. You may have to click on an
ad to read the story, but it's worth it.
