Wikipedia offers a good definition of revival. The entire page can be viewed at...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revivalism
"Revival in a Christian context generally refers to a specific period of spiritual renewal in the life of the Church. While elements such as mass conversions and perceived beneficial effects on the moral climate of a given culture may be involved, the key factor in revival is the restoration of the Church to a vital and fervent relationship with God after a period of decline. Please note that here the word "Church" refers to the body of believers in Christ as a whole and not to a particular group or denomination."
I appreciate the statement "...the key factor in revival is the restoration of the Church to a vital and fervent relationship with God after a period of decline."
May that day come soon!
