Writer and journalist Lamorna Ash explores why young people in Britain today are turning to faith in an age of uncertainty.
When writing Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever, writer Lamorna Ash travelled across Britain to explore why so many young people are rediscovering Christianity in an age marked by uncertainty, disconnection and apathy. In this event, Lamorna shares her own minimal religious upbringing and reveals the stories of new young converts in a journey that spans the UK — from Evangelical festivals to Quaker meetings, silent Jesuit retreats along the Welsh coastline, and remote monastic communities in the Inner Hebrides.
Through intimate interviews and her own spiritual reflections, Lamorna uncovers what draws a new generation toward faith, offering a lyrical and compassionate portrait of the human search for meaning and our universal need for nourishment of the soul. 'A book of rare quality.
