The purpose of the symposium, and of Bronkema’s thought piece that underpinned it (and published as part of this issue of the journal), was to tackle the critique advanced by Jayakumar Christian in the ARA pre-conference intensive of October 2022 on the danger of engaging in spiritual metrics in a way that separated out the spiritual from everything else.	cache/crda-647.pdf	txt/crda-647.txt
