Revival is coming - but is the Church ready?

Paul Williams has always been wary of claims of revival, but he believes that God is on the move. When revival comes, it is not for the Christians, but for those far away, he says. It’s time for the Church to open its doors wide

For much of my Christian life, I’ve responded to announcements of imminent revival with a mixture of doubt, irritation, weariness – and sometimes faith. So, it’s with a real sense of irony that, in recent months, I found myself saying that I believe we are on the brink of revival.

But what do I mean by this? Why do I think it’s happening? And how should the Church respond?
