"What we have got to keep in mind is that revivals, throughout history and right now, are not just events - they are movements."
-Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
What is a Revival?
An Episcopal revival is a dedicated series of gatherings that combine inspiring worship, compelling teaching, honest faith-sharing, intensified prayer, and some form of engagement with the mission of God – all for the sake of the spiritual renewal and transformation of people and of society. We like the way Mark Labberton put it: “Revival can be a loaded word. But it almost always shows itself in two interconnected ways: personal experience of spiritual renewal marked by lament and hope, and social transformation marked by justice and righteousness.”
The Episcopal Revivals are not an end in and of themselves. The hope is that each revival will spark greater passion to be part of the Jesus Movement and to join in ministries of evangelism, reconciliation, care of creation, church planting, formation, youth outreach, justice in our local communities and beyond.
The Most Rev. Michael Curry has hosted revivals throughout the country and around the world during his tenure as Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church. Because of health concerns, Bishop Curry will not be joining us for this revival as originally planned, but we will still be gathering with his blessing and well-wishes!
You're Invited!
The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri is hosting a revival on March 15, 2024, to engage the St. Louis area, the Diocese of Missouri, and the entire region in our vision to transform our world with God’s love, justice, and peace.
As followers of Jesus, we are all part of the same story. Our stories unite people and connect us to a different narrative than society often dictates.
We can use our stories, both ancient and modern, to help heal the many political and societal divides in our country today.
This revival is all about sharing stories to see each other as humans, all worthy of dignity and respect. We CAN build bridges to heal the divide!
