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

This event is one of our Lighthouse Social launches, which includes a 1hour discussion with the author & audience Q&A, followed by 30mins to linger and chat, have a drink, be introduced to folk with shared interests. You can come just for the talk, or stick around, its entirely up to you!

We'll be springing into summer with a gorgeous paperback launch of Lamorna Ash's critically acclaimed Don't Forget We're Here Forever- a New Generation's Search for Religion.

Beautiful as a piece of writing, beautiful too as a record of a soul wrestling in the present with what faith might be - FRANCIS SPUFFORD

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.
