The Grace Episcopal Bookstore

World Next Door now has another remote location -- Grace Episcopal Bookstore.

The official opening (or reopening, rather) was on September 21st. But I just now made it over there to take some pictures. Feast your eyes! Kim and Jency did a wonderful job of creating a bright, colorful, appealing display. They're quite good at it.

We worked with Dabney Carter at Grace to get everything set up, and we're excited to be there. We very much believe in mobilizing those who follow Jesus to engage and support fair trade in their community of faith. As ones who believe that God hates injustice, we're excited to partner with the American church to promote fair trade and its mission to combat injustice in the economic realm.

The Grace Bookstore is open Tuesday-Friday from 10:00-2:00, and Sundays 9:00-10:30 and 12:00-12:40. It is also open Wednesday evenings, 4:00-6:30. The church is located at the corner of Brainerd Road and Belvoir Road in Chattanooga.

Here's a small part of our section. We also occupy lots of shelf space and a couple windows.

Other items for sale in the bookstore include books of theology and Christian apologetics, as well as commentaries and more. Other gift items are offered, including hand-blown glass balls, wooden sculptures, and more.
There's a lounge area too, for anyone who wants to just hang out and enjoy the atmosphere and community.

We're excited to be there, and there's more in the works.

We're currently exploring a partnership with a coffee shop on Main St., one of Chattanooga's hottest spots for new development. More to come as things develop...
