<p> Score reminds us that this is roughly far more overlooked stores, stillly: Philip and Score Brewer 's treason of SPCK 's trust and with it, the trust of the total Christian book trade runs far deeper than this. It Holds about people: </p>
<blockquote><p> The staff judicatures scratched last yr make n't seem to hold been rescheduled ( that I can chance ) and the shop, full of stock yet shutted and unwelcoming pedestals as a reminder to the harm the Brewers hold done not but to the unpaid staff who were unfairly disregarded but likewise to all those nationally who no more hold admittance to Christian resources. </p>

<p> My apprehension is that the other staff who were fired are members of Usdaw, and we can anticipate to hear more about those hearings in May, as reported in this month's <em>Christian Marketplace</em>
</p>
<p> Meanwhile, stillly, some interrogations: is the Pilgrim 's journeying eventually over in Sheffield? Who 's the stock in the store? HA it been invited? Who keeps the keys? </p>
<p> At some point I think we can anticipate the Brewers to seek to derive accession ( <a href='http://unicorntreebooks.blogspot.com/2008/03/just-to-let-you-all-know-that-lincoln.html'>remember Lincoln</a>
) and assay to claim the stock for redistribution to other stores. If you dwell nearby, make maintain a sentinel, hold your camera Handy, and delight leave a input or let us know privately if you spy any mistrustful behavior... </p>
