Christian Bookshops crisis
I’ve been trying to carve out 15 minutes to blog about the crisis STL finds itself in, which, combined with the SPCK debacle of 2008, leaves “christian” bookshops in a quandary.
Phil Groom/Matt Wardman et al to the rescue – Phil has compiled a summary of how things are here:
New Ways of Being Bookshop « UKCBD: The Christian Bookshops Blog.
And Simon Jones of Bromley writes about the bookshop as a “missional” space on the high street.

Maggi has kept a blog since September 2003, writing about theology and faith, the arts and literature, and a little about life and random nonsense...
This title focuses on the importance of understanding who God is - and who he is not. It explores the core Lenten idea of 'giving up', taking it beyond the traditional idea of simply abstaining from something.
This book compares and contrasts the different Gospel narratives of Christ's coming. It is designed specifically for use in 2007, highlighting links to the Church calendar. It is intended for those wanting daily Bible readings for Advent.

Thanks Maggi. Don’t know about coming to the rescue: more a shout-out to the trade to pull together; and whilst there’s plenty of applause there’s not much action so far.
That’s Matt who gets the credit for pulling that summary together, by the way, not me; and Simon’s gone global as Christian Retailing USA have picked up his post: ‘Missional Thinking’ about Christian Stores.
