In the heart of London, 600 people – me included – gathered for Speak Life’s Responding to the Rebirth conference on Saturday.

The venue was All Souls Langham Place. And it saw an eclectic mix of evangelicals - from across denominations - gather, along with seekers as well, to discuss a phenomenon you might be familiar with: the "Quiet Revival".
