The BBC have just published an article looking at pastoral care in sport. Interestingly this is an area which hasn't been much publicised as athletes are considered to be physical beings rather than emotional, however this step from the Super League shows us the importance of emotional and spiritual well being all across society.
There are over 230 sports chaplains in the UK, as wll as there being well over 200 military chaplains in the British Armed Forces.
Does this mean that in an incrasingly atheistic society we are seeing a newfangled emphasis on spirituality in sport?
