106 Leigh PorterGet Carole back, get the proper bookshop back. I would go to Durham JUST FOR YOUR BOOKSHOP. No more. Please please rescue the shop.

108 Richard GreatrexThe D&C may have their own agenda for change but this should not include standing by while staff are treated badly, the academic community loses a theological life-line and cathedral visitors are poorly served. It is time to either take charge and re-invest in the shop or find a credible Christian partner.

112 Charles ReadAs a former staff member at Cranmer Hall< i can testify to the immensely valuable service this bookshop offered to those in training at Cranmer / WSC and on NEOC as well as to those involved in lay training in the north-east. Now as Vice-Principal of another training institution in a city where SPCK has closed, I know that the loss of a good bookshop has serious implications for those in ministerial training and for those who teach them.

116 Robert CooperI understand that the cathedral's position is difficult, but hope that a way forward can be found to set the bookshop free!

120 Kathleen FosterMy local church relies upon the bookshop for baptism, godparent cards and candles etc. Without the shop, everything will have to be done online.

126 Zoe Braven-GilesThe biggest crisis brewing in the Christian world is a lack of education. These last few years have seen the massive decline in Christian bookshops, then the mess with SPCK has happened. Please step in and take back the control of your shop. Treat your staff with Christian morals and educate Christians so that they can do the same. Thank you

129 Nora SanekaExploitation of those who are trying to provide a service, i.e. the bookshop, to those who are seeking spiritual guidence, is unacceptable. Clear ethical principals must be applied and the bookshop restored to its primary purpose.

133 Michele MoattI agree wholeheartedly with the petition letter and would add: since the shop ceased to be controlled by SPCK properly its usually excellent academic book supply has also ceased - disasterous!
134 James ChannellThe fiasco of SSGs 'managing' of this prominent shop has gone on for far too long. Please Dean and chapter do all you reasonably can to bring it to a speedy conclusion.

137 Revd David G JonesNo doubt in history many a nefarious deed was committed in the Cathedral. That in this day and age such an ignominy should be allowed to be perpetrated in its hallowed space is inconceivable.
138 Ginette DuckettI was Assistant Manager of the Worcester SPCK shop until February this year, when I and other staff were sacked by the Brewers (by e-mail!). My Manager, Stephen Jeynes was summarily dismissed a few months later. He committed suicide. I am appalled at the mis-management of the shops since the takeover by the Brewers, and disgusted at the way staff have been treated. I fully endorse this petition.
139 Fiona MackieI have done my best to support this boookshop over the last year - but it is difficult to do this when stocks are so low - please support the staff and make this a useful, interesting and challenging bookshop again.

142 Savvas CostiThere are people in positions of power and leadership who really should never have been there in the first place.
