There has been talk of a Christian revival in the UK for at least a year – and speculation about it everywhere from the press to podcasts. But where is the data showing us how the Spirit is moving? Instead, we are often presented with disappointing data from various denominations about decreasing numbers of people attending church.

The Bible Society’s latest report A Quiet Revival might well be the evidence we have been hoping for, showing a potentially significant shift – and particularly in young people’s approach to Christianity.
