Lamorna Ash & Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin: Millennial Saints

Two exciting writers take on faith and religion, wielding fiction and non-fiction respectively. Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin’s debut, Ordinary Saints, is a heartfelt and nuanced exploration of the Catholic church in modern Ireland, queer identity, and family. Lamorna Ash’s Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever combines interviews and personal reflections to investigate why young people in Britain today are embracing Christianity. This will be a thought-provoking discussion on being and belonging in our modern world. Chaired by Sasha de Buyl.
