Lamorna Ash, in conversation

One Church Brighton are excited to welcome back Lamorna Ash, having been featured in her bestselling title, Don't Forget We're Here Forever.

In the book, Lamorna 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. 

Lamorna will be in conversation with Anton Thompson-McCormick, One Church's Youth Engagement Worker whose story is shared in the book. She will also read from the book, take questions from the audience and sign copies.

18:30 Doors (soft drinks available to purchase)

Tickets are free. You will be prompted to make a gift to Anton's work with LGBT youth, if you are able to give it would be hugely appreciated. Books can be pre-ordered with your ticket, or purchased on the night.

More about Don't Forget We're Here Forever:

Gentle, lovely . . . Ash’s faith is at its core a matter of curiosity . . . Ash started working on Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever when she was only 26, but the tender grace of her tone makes her seem much older, perhaps because she writes from the vantage point of newly discovered faith. In addition to a journalistic portrait of many young believers, Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever is a memoir of sorts, charting Ash’s passage from doubt to a refreshingly fluid and undogmatic brand of Christianity . . . Even when she is exploring the cruellest and crudest forms of Christianity, Ash often finds something of value in them . . . Over the course of Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever, Ash becomes an example of the kind of radical openness that reading (and religion) should demand - Becca Rothfeld, Washington Post
