Mission Statement
We exist to honour Christ by stockholding and retailing material selected to encourage personal faith and to resource the local church for worship evangelism and Christian living.

Our Vision
To develop community based Christian resource centres run by committed enthusiastic and knowledgeable Christians sharing their faith through their work.

Our Statement Of Faith
We believe Jesus Christ to be God's son, Saviour of the world.
We believe the Bible to be God's word, relevant to contemporary culture.
We believe the Holy Spirit is active in the lives of people today using Christian resources to bring others to faith.

Durham Cathedral Shop has had a somewhat turbulent history in recent years, outlined briefly below. Following the Brewer brothers' early relinquishment of their lease, however, the shop reopened on 1st March 2010 under the Cathedral's own management.

The shop's location and operations are currently under review as part of the Cathedral's ongoing World Heritage Site development strategy. More information will be posted here as and when it emerges...

Durham Cathedral Shop: A Brief History
Following SPCK's handover of its bookshop operations to the St Stephen the Great Charitable Trust in October 2006, Durham Cathedral shop traded briefly as SPCK St Stephen the Great Bookshop. The shop's trading identity was changed to "Durham Cathederal [sic] Shop Management Co" (one of several UK trading identities used by the USA-based Brewer family) in March 2008 in what appears to have been part of a complex strategy to evade creditors and ringfence profitable shops prior to a spurious attempt to file "St Stephen the Great LLC" for bankruptcy in the Texas Bankruptcy Courts in June 2008.

Despite the claimed bankruptcy, the family (headed up by J Mark and Philip W Brewer) continued to trade under a variety of spurious identities until 2009 when the Charity Commission seized control of the parent organisation, the St Stephen the Great Charitable Trust and began to close down its operations.

Durham appears to have been the only shop in the group over which the Charity Commission declined to take an interest.
