Lord (David) Frost, a recent convert and the UK’s chief negotiator for exiting the European Union, has written in the Daily Telegraph about his conversion and what he believes is driving a resurgence in Catholic belief.

The article, entitled “Britain is quietly awakening to full-fat supernatural Christianity”, acknowledges the faulty YouGov data which led a Bible Society report to assert that the UK was in the midst of a “quiet revival”. However, Frost points out that even if the report was inaccurate, there are plenty of other examples which suggest there is a resurgence in interest in Christianity. Bible sales doubling, footballers opening up about their faith and a record number of adult converts at Easter make it difficult to deny that Christianity is on the rise in the UK.
