  • Christianity Today: Boston's Quiet Revival is making national news!
    Jeff Bass writes: The ChristianityToday.com article about the Quiet Revival in Boston/New England is a generally positive article that gives a good sense of what is going on and the anticipation of God doing more in the future. There are a couple of spots where the reporter doesn't get it quite right though.

    In the third paragraph, he says, "During the past 30 years, church growth, fueled by evangelical university groups and immigrant communities, has dramatically outpaced population growth." I'd leave out "evangelical university groups" from this equation. I think the immigrant communities are the ones that are fueling this growth, and that they are fueling the growth and revitalization of evangelical university groups as well.

    Also, in the first paragraph under "Minority Driven," the reporter does not mention the Latino church as one of the key groups starting new churches, and clearly the Latino church is probably the largest "minority" group driving the Quiet Revival.

    Perhaps the article will help more people see how God is at work in Boston and New England, and will encourage them to pray and otherwise join in.
