Abstract

Faith and health are two facets of one phenomenon that achieves public scale through the intentional practices of those in positions of influence in organizations and networks of the social body. Those who do that are best called theogenerative practitioners as they intentionally channel their experience of the Ultimate into generative practice. This life practice is the labour and delight of all of those moved by the Spirit—not just those with sacramental duties performed at ritual occasions—but done mostly in between those times on the sidewalks and committee rooms far from the sanctuary.
