Engaging Community and Exploring Music's Religious Resurgence

In a secular age, many have predicted the death of the church in the West. But with evidence of a 'Quiet Revival' in the UK, where are the new signs of life in the church?

Justin Brierley recently joined a panel of journalists and church leaders to discuss the future of the church, with Nick Spencer of Theos chairing the conversation.

Panellists:

• Daisy Scalchi, Head of Religion and Ethics, BBC Television  
• Madeleine Davies, senior writer for the Church Times 
• Mary Harrington, writer and author of Feminism Against Progress
• Bishop Mike Royal, General Secretary of Churches Together in England
