Lamorna Ash on Don't Forget We're Here Forever

Lamorna Ash was raised with about as much Christianity as most people in Britain these days: a basic knowledge of hymns and prayers received via a Church of England primary school education; occasional brushes with religious services.

But once she started writing about her two friends’ unexpected conversions, she began encountering a recurring phenomenon: in an age of disconnection and apathy, a new generation was discovering religion for itself.In _Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever_, Ash embarks on a journey across Britain to meet those wrestling with Christianity today.

Through interviews and her own deeply personal journey with religion, and from Evangelical youth festivals to Quaker meetings, a silent Jesuit retreat along the Welsh coastline to a monastic community in the Inner Hebrides, she investigates what is driving Gen Z today to embrace Christianity.

Written with lyrical beauty and sensitivity, this is a reminder of our universal need for nourishment of the soul.LAMORNA ASH is a writer and freelance journalist based in London.

Her first book, _Dark, Salt, Clear: Life in a Cornish Fishing Town_, was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, won a Somerset Maugham Award and was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize.
