There is much in the news about the revival at Asbury University in the US. The stories of students and staff being moved to repentance and worship are very moving. From the perspective of other Christian expressions these events may be viewed with some skepticism, and so we are grateful to Prof Paul Gavrilyuk, the founding president of the International Orthodox Theological Association Aquinas Chair in Theology and Philosophy in the Theology Department at the University of St. Thomas in the US for this thoughtful and generous reflection from an Orthodox perspective.
