With spring comes baseball — and this year, two brand-new columns on NCRonline.org. The Gospel of Sports focuses on faith through the lens of sports. Columns are written by Mike Jordan Laskey and will publish every six weeks. The second new series is called Theology en la Plaza, which will feature four public theologians writing from distinctly Latin@ perspectives. Columns will focus on matters impacting church and society.
Recent columns by Mike and Carmen Nanko-Fernández focus on baseball and its capacity to bring people together.
If you'd like to hear from these contributors regularly, we can send you emails when new columns publish. To sign up for free emails, visit NCRonline.org/email.

Background reading:

- Mike spoke with college administrator and fellow fanatic John Sexton about baseball as a road to God.
- Like Easter, sometimes the baseball season demands interruption, writes Carmen Nanko-Fernández.
