“Entertainment is not revival. Although that is an obvious statement, it is sadly not always understood. Too often it is assumed that an ‘atmosphere’ of revival can be achieved by using music, lighting and techno-media presentation. Highly organized events with attractive multi-coloured brochures can generate excitement and draw huge crowds, but it is misleading to think that ‘having a good time’ equates to spiritual revival. It is very easy to be negative about such displays but the problem remains that we lack spiritual vitality and life, and we are often boringly out of touch and tradition, or else events like that would not seem so attractive to young people. The sad fact is that we have an idea in our heads of something far better, but in our hearts and experience too often there is not much that is better.”

– Rev. Brian Edwards, British Pastor
