Our Statement Of Faith

Special orders are welcome.

During the four years we have been trading, we have earned a reputation for having the best range of greetings cards in town.

Our friendly and welcoming coffee lounge sells fairly traded tea and coffee and an ever-changing stock of homemade cakes.

Because we believe that God always has time for people, we try to reflect that in the way we serve people. We also have a wonderful little Coffee Shop serving home made meals and cakes. On the second floor there is a Chapel for those who want to have "time out" to pray.

Previously trading as SPCK St Stephen the Great Bookshop, Durham, the Durham Cathederal [sic] Shop Management Co is one of several UK trading identities used by the Brewer family, Texas. The shop's trading identity was changed 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) have continued to trade variously as SPCK St Stephen the Great Bookshops, Durham Cathedral Shop, ENC Management Company, Chichester Shop Management Co and Third Space Books. The parent organisation, the St Stephen the Great Charitable Trust (also known as the St Stephen the Great Trust and commonly abbreviated to either SSG or SSGCT) is subject to an ongoing investigation by the Charity Commission in response to a number of complaints about their trading activities.

Durham appears to be the only shop in the group that has renewed its membership of the Booksellers Association.
