Continue reading →: Wrapping Up- An Outsider’s Perspective
Well, let’s be honest, throughout this story there has been quite a lot of my own personal opinion and perspective, more than in a usual story. This, as I say is because I am the one writing it and I cannot easily avoid my biases and worldview. There was one…

Over the years covered I spoke with many others and so the following are a selection of responses, largely from believers, before any talk of quiet revivals in the UK. Susan “There is no sign of a revival in my home town. There are about 26,000 people in my town,…

Children have historically been included in past revivals and their voices are needed. What is happening is also to do with them. But they need safeguarding and protecting from so many things. Especially due to the horrific scandal caused by a vile few. One old-time preacher described young people as…

It would be simply annoying not to document some views from those currently experiencing revival in the UK. When I was a young believer at church, the older Christians would talk about ‘a cult of youth’. It’s a very ‘old person’ kind of expression to use and pretty condescending. I…

2024 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV Seems clear enough, doesn’t…

2023 I thought I may as well ask ChatGPT what it thought on the subject. So, this will be a nice, cosy, lazy piece for me (which is rare). However, no other part of this story is written with AI. (‘Maybe it should have been’ I hear my critics laugh.…
