Overview

In 2019 Melvyn Bragg, in a Sunday Times interview with Bryan Appleyard, described being at a family christening when the priest asked everyone to join in the Lord’s Prayer. Bragg realised he was the only one who knew the words. “We have lost it Bryan, in two generations“ said Bragg, “not just the faith but the narratives that go with it” As the son of a clergyman who grew up in rural north Suffolk in the 1950s Andrew Hayward realised that Bragg spoke the truth. Indeed, the church attendance figures prove it. This book is not just about the loss of faith but what then happened to society in its absence. How it affected education, culture and indeed life itself. The age of deference was dead. The author took four years to write this book and happily, as a Christian, post covid has seen numerous signs of revival. Long may that continue.

Author Information

Andrew Hayward has always been at the heart of British publishing, working for such major names as Penguin, Pearson and Constable and Robinson. In 2009 , after becoming deaf, his career changed to being a literary agent. It is in that role that he read an interview with Lord Bragg where he declared about the dying of the Christian faith in Britain, and realised there was a book that needed to be written.
