God In My Sporting: A Justification For Christian Experience In Sport, Sean Sullivan
God In My Sporting: A Justification For Christian Experience In Sport, Sean Sullivan
Movement and Being: The Journal of the Christian Society for Kinesiology, Leisure and Sports Studies
Examining the intersection between sport and religious faith can be challenging for kinesiology professionals. Many in academics disregard religious statements and experience as meaningless, unscientific, and even dangerous. Others recognize religious experiences as valid forms of knowledge and opportunities to encounter the sacred. Each of these groups has different explanations of religious experience and the areas of life in which such experience can occur. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the legitimacy of and potential for religious experience in general, as well as Christian religious experience in sport and physical activity.

Leisure Studies And Spirituality: A Christian Critique, Paul Heintzman
Leisure Studies And Spirituality: A Christian Critique, Paul Heintzman
Movement and Being: The Journal of the Christian Society for Kinesiology, Leisure and Sports Studies
Conceptual discussions of leisure have often had spiritual overtones or linked leisure with spirituality. The links between the two concepts are becoming widely recognized and discussed in a wide range of leisure studies areas: therapeutic recreation, camping, recreational land management, outdoor recreation, tourism, and community recreation.

The administration of and participation in present-day sport is inundated with situations requiring individuals with varying moral paradigms to determine appropriate action.

Leisure In The Life Of The 21st Century Black Church: Re-Thinking The Gift, Steven N. Waller Ph.D.
Movement and Being: The Journal of the Christian Society for Kinesiology, Leisure and Sports Studies
Scholarship devoted to examining the role that leisure plays in the life of the Black Church is lacking. Leisure is an important facet of congregational life in African American churches and permeates congregational dynamics on multiple levels. The purpose of this essay is to examine leisure in the life of the Black Church and posit how a healthy, theologically accurate understanding of the value of leisure can help with health and wellness promotion, community-economic development and church growth. The Black Church is defined as the eight historically Black denominations: African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, Christian Methodist Episcopal, Church …
