Finally there is some theology proof from an Anglican priest with his Ph.D thesis on spiritually in snowboarding.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>CBC News, Mar 4, 2011<br \/>\nThesis examines connection between spirituality and snowboarding<\/p>\n<p>An Anglican priest from Trail, B.C., has become the first person in the world to get a PhD in snowboarding.<\/p>\n<p>Neil Elliot, the minister at St. Andrew&#8217;s Anglican Church, recently received his doctorate from Kingston University in London, England.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The genesis was discovering this term &#8216;soul-riding&#8217; in a discussion on the internet, and that discussion going into how people have had transcending experiences while riding and discovering I&#8217;ve had that experience as well I just hadn&#8217;t recognized it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Elliot interviewed dozens of snowboarders from the United Kingdom and Canada, delving into the spirituality of snowboarding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Soul-riding starts with riding powder, it starts with finding some kind of almost transcendent experience in riding powder and in the whole of your life, so soul-riding is about being completely focused, being completely in the moment, you might say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elliot said it&#8217;s clear spirituality and snowboarding do intersect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[It&#8217;s] about snowboarders who discovered that \u2026 snowboarding was their spirituality. I had a lot of people who said, &#8216;Snowboarding is my religion.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;New model for spirituality&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>While Elliot&#8217;s thesis doesn&#8217;t draw any definite conclusions, he says it offers a new point of view.<br \/>\nNeil Elliot is the first person in the world to get a PhD in snowboarding. Neil Elliot is the first person in the world to get a PhD in snowboarding. (St. Andrews Anglican Church)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What my thesis does is give a new model for spirituality, saying that spirituality is a way of looking at the world and a way of looking at the world that includes there being something more than just the material,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My thesis goes on to say that there&#8217;s three dimensions to that. There&#8217;s the experiences that we have, there&#8217;s the context that we&#8217;re in and then there&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on really inside us, who we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elliot, who already has a master&#8217;s degree in theology and Islamic studies, is the first to admit his love of snowboarding drove him to get the PhD and a job in the B.C. mountains. But he insists his thesis is serious.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My PhD is about spirituality and snowboarding. It&#8217;s rooted in the sociology of religion and in \u2026 this debate that&#8217;s going on about whether somebody is religious or spiritual. A lot of people say, &#8216;I&#8217;m not religious \u2014 I&#8217;m spiritual&#8217; and I&#8217;m trying to find out what that actually means,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The spirituality of snowboarding is looking at what does it mean to be spiritual in today&#8217;s world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elliot said his colleagues and congregation support his unorthodox PhD, and love of both the board and cloth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They understand that this is a light on what we&#8217;re all struggling with: how do we encourage people to come into the church? How do we encourage people to see religion and spirituality as working together, rather than being different things?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been saying skiing nurture my spirituality for many years.
