What is the evidence for a ‘quiet revival’?
Update: 2025-08-19
Description
In this week’s Church Times, Madeleine Davies has written an indepth feature about the so-called “quiet revival” among younger people, following a recent report by the Bible Society (News, 8 April).
On the podcast this week, Madeleine talks about her article with the editor, Sarah Meyrick. They discuss how the research has been received; whether it resonates with what is happening in parishes; what might be attracting young men to church in particular; why the mainstream media has taken such an interest in the “quiet revival”; and more.
