Whether or not there’s truly a “quiet revival”, something seems to be stirring. One recent prominent convert to Christianity is renowned storyteller Martin Shaw, who came to faith after a vision of Christ out on Dartmoor.
Like fellow-convert and environmentalist Paul Kingsnorth, Shaw has been drawn into Eastern Orthodoxy, which seems to be attracting young men especially. It’s worth seeking to understand this phenomenon, to see both what we might critique and what we might learn.
