Inspiration – John Prockter

Why does football feel so spiritual?

Are you a casual football supporter, someone who hates the game or are you a die-hard fan? Personally, I’m a bit of a mixture but even I can’t deny the spirituality of football. I don’t support any teams. I don’t know any footballers; I don’t even know where our local stadium is. I’ve also never…

God cares more about character than gender: Reflections on female leadership.
