Abstract
Abstract This chapter presents a cultural sociological case study of C3 Toronto (C3T), a neo-Pentecostal church. It begins by tracing the history of C3 Church and the wider Charismatic movement to which C3T belongs. It then demonstrates how the religion of the heart is institutionalized at C3T in the form of Charismatic Christian (CC) discourse. Next, by treating the church’s Sunday worship service as a collective ritual, the chapter argues that—through a combination of customized aesthetics, language ideology, conversion narratives, conferring moral authority on pastors, and practices of self-cultivation—C3T successfully reconstitutes members’ selves to accord with the church’s collective conscience. Moreover, C3T functions as a “greedy institution,” in that it seeks to stifle shifting involvements and alternative commitments among its members. The chapter concludes that the case of C3T vindicates critics’ fears about the intimate affinities shared between the religion of the heart (or “spirituality”) and neoliberalism. However, it also challenges the view that the appeal of Charismatic Christianity is wholly economic in character.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
