This requires not only a sociology attuned to the importance of practices (following Bourdieu), but also a theology that is primed to be attentive to the central role of formative practices. A sociology of practice tethered to a “talking head” theology will not do justice to the particularities of religious formation. In order to consider any correlation between evangelical spirituality and geographical habits, we will need a theological approach that considers the formative impact of affective practices.8
