What appears to be private spiritual practice is actively produced by institutional networks.

Evidence

I might have to establish, at any rate, ‘that what we think of as the spiritual is actively produced’ together with a network of larger trends and institutions. However isolated or inchoate my own spiritual practice, or set of practices, might appear to be, I should at least entertain the possibility that ‘it is not unorganized, but rather organized in different ways, within and adjacent to a variety of religious and secular institutional fields’. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1191
