About
In the spirit of our belief that it is better to talk to, not about, faith communities, it is important to ask Christians directly what their experiences of living in Britain are.
We asked our panel of Christians from across Britain to share their stories of living in Britain and discuss the opportunities and challenges in 2024.

Evie-Mae Jaggard
Catholicism
Evie grew up as a working-class atheist. She graduated from Philosophy in 2018 and received a Master’s in History in 2020. At 27, she now works as an IT Consultant. Until her early 20s, she openly disavowed ‘religion’ and ‘faith’ and was a self-described nihilist. These convictions unravelled when she explored spirituality after University and began finding value in the performance of and participation in faith. She converted to Catholicism at Easter in 2023 at St Mary’s Parish, Birmingham.
