When Silence Becomes Defening.

  • Nov. 2nd, 2008 at 1:24 PM

It's not just my imagination is it? Or have I missed something? Over the last month any form of official comment on the St Stephen the Great situation appears to have vanished. It would appear that people are doing an impression of Zippy from Rainbow. Yet those of us trying to follow the story, yet alone those who are affected by the Brewers mis-management need to know what is going on. While there are a number of people who want to speak out and can't surely there are those who can?

So what news are we waiting for? In no particular order:
  • The news from America concerning J Mark Brewer's attempts to make SSG bankrupt a fraud of court.
  • News from the industrial tribunials.
  • News as to how SSG has managed to make Exeter a jewellers, when there is a clause in the covenant as to the shop being used for Christian retail purposes.
  • A response from Durham concerning the petition started by Phil Groom. If, as some ex-staff have said, there is a get out clause, why haven't Durham Cathedral used it?
  • News from Chichester diocese. All I have heard is that the Chichester shop was mentioned as a possibility of something happening, at the SPCK AGM? I am intrigued. Chichester Diocese, please explain.
  • News from the Charity Commission on SSG's behaviour.
And this is all I can think of while I am waiting for my Sunday lunch to finish cooking.

Come on those who can give us news - speak up. The Brewer's want us to go away - but we won't until we see "justice role like rivers, and righteousness like a never failing stream" on this issue.
