How real is the religious revival among young people that we keep reading about? This evening, I went to Choral Evensong at my old Oxford college, Oriel. In my day, it was rare to get into double figures at a chapel service (not counting the choir). Today, there were 138 worshippers. Yes, there was an adult baptism, but there have apparently been over 110 people at every service this term. What’s the secret? The unadulterated Prayer Book is part of it; indeed, the traditionalism more widely. This evening, for example, the choir sang Parry’s I was Glad. And the place itself is beautiful, of course. But my sense is that the style of churchmanship is secondary. What really draws people in is the unapologetic gospel. High or Low matters less than the sense that there is something bigger, and that people are unembarrassed to talk about it. Oriel’s chaplain, Robert Wainwright, is a wonderful example of what a clever, humble and energetic clergyman can achieve. Afterwards, as always, there was a formal hall. No phones are allowed at Oriel formals, and it was joyful to see undergraduates properly talking over dinner. The meal began with a sung grace. The grace itself is more than 500 years old, but the singing was an undergraduate innovation dating only from last year. There are oases to be found in the desert. Oriel is one of them.

Can any dune book reader explain why anyone would choose to become a navigator in Dune? In the world of Dune, navigators are barely human anymore. They spend years immersed in highly concentrated spice gas, causing their bodies to mutate severely until they resemble strange fish-like creatures. So, why would anyone accept such a terrible price?
