Reginald Bibby draws on new research findings on adults and young people in arguing that a heightened level of spiritual restlessness is sweeping Canada. Organizationally, it can be found in signs of new life in both old churches and new churches; individually, it is evident in high levels of ongoing belief and experience, pursuit of ultimate questions, intrigue with life after death, "rumours of angels", and a surprising level of receptivity to greater involvement with religious groups.
