Talk About a Revival

I'm always curious when I see ads for a Christian "revival" service - what's there to revive? The faith is thriving, particularly in this country. When I think of revival, I think of someone holding a religious service that's been dormant for 1600 years. In Greece, a few folks are bringing back the faith of their forefathers - the one with Zeus, Athena, and the like. Not everyone is impressed:

The move is bound to aggravate the highly conservative Greek Orthodox church, which strongly disapproves of what it regards as paganism.

'They are a handful of miserable resuscitators of a degenerate dead religion who wish to return to the monstrous dark delusions of the past,' said Father Efstathios Kollas, the President of Greek Clergymen.
Yikes! A "degenerate" religion built on "monstrous dark delusions of the past?" Methinks someone is projecting.
