Résumé
This paper aims at clarifying what kind of theology a Christian chaplain transmits to football players. It is grounded for a month-long observation inside the Christian Praxis of the Alouettes, the Montréal Canadian Football League team: prayer, chapel, Biblical study, and charity. The method of Spiritual Praxeology was used to treat the observation, by organizing the data according to seven structural questions (what, who where, when, why, how, how much?) then by elaborating the values inside the praxis in five degrees: material artefacts, personal and collective developments, ethical issues, relations to God. The research shows that the Montréal Alouettes Christian Praxis is not aimed to ask God to make the team win, but rather to let the Christian players be humble enough to ask God’s help in order to become as good as they can be.
