Many Wesley Owen Books & Music shops around the UK are set to close after only part of the chain found buyers.This could be an opportunity for local churches and Christian organisations to cooperate and take over their local shop or else regret the loss of a valuable asset to Christians. Please sign the petition below to help save Wesley Owen Edinburgh.
I have been in contact with several local church leaders to gauge their interest in a collaborative takeover of the Edinburgh shop. While these discussions are still in the early stages, the level of concern for this asset remains high. I will continue to work behind the scenes to secure a future for this vital space.
January 9, 2010
The momentum behind this effort clearly demonstrates how much the public values our local bookstore as a resource for the community. This collective enthusiasm provides the necessary leverage to begin formal discussions regarding the future of the shop.

PLEASE DONT CLOSE EDINBURGH. It is the only place in the city to find these books.

This shop has been a part of the community for years. Really hope they can find a way to stay open.

Total shame. Everything is going online and disappearing from our streets.
