Council for Mission
Exploring ‘The Quiet Revival’
In the latest Mission Matters podcast from the Church of Ireland’s Council for Mission podcast, we welcome Dr Julie McKinley (from the Bible Society Ireland) and Dr Rhiannon McAleer (from the British and Foreign Bible Society, covering England and Wales) to unpack the ground–breaking findings of The Quiet Revival report.
Julie and Rhiannon discuss the surprising surge in church attendance and spiritual hunger among young adults, particularly young men, in England and Wales, which is grassroots, authentic, and driven by a search for meaning.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why Gen Z is today’s most spiritually engaged generation
- The dramatic increase in church attendance and ethnic diversity in congregations
- The link between faith, well–being and community connection
- What this Quiet Revival means for the future of the Church
