Lord Carey Supports University Christian Sports Programme

Lord George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury, has given his backing to a unique postgraduate course at the University of Gloucestershire for Christian sports workers.

Lord Carey, who is also serving as Chancellor of the university, described the launch of the course as "an exciting and innovative move".

The Sport and Christian Outreach programme is the first to be developed in the UK and will help those working within churches and Christian organisations to use sport as a way of connecting with local communities.
