The past year has brought genuine reasons for Christian gratitude. In Britain, surveys have registered an unexpected rise in church attendance among young adults, particularly among Catholics. In France, adult baptisms continue to climb steadily. In the United States, Easter vigils in many dioceses reported unusually large numbers of converts, while prominent public figures have spoken openly about their return to Christianity. Elements of the secular press have taken to calling it a “quiet revival,” and for once the phrase does not seem misplaced.
