I found today’s post “Smoking to the Glory of God?” to be particularly helpful to the dialogue as it reminded us that, “Everything can be a ‘spiritual practice’, but not everything is a ‘spiritual practice’. It is the ends, the means, and the formation that takes place within our activities that determines what is ‘spiritual’.”
