The Macon Ecumenical Bookstore is located at St. Francis. We started the bookstore, but have made it a shared ministry with other churches. The store operates on a non-profit basis. No proceeds from sales go to any of the churches. Our goal is to make available in Macon spiritual and religious books which otherwise would be completely unavailable or hard to find at a big chain bookstore.

      We carry books that would be of interest to interfaith seekers, Unitarians, Methodists, Presbyterians (USA), Methodists, Lutherans (ELCA), Roman Catholics, Orthodox Catholics, Cooperative Baptists, and others. The reading needs of a few other denominations are well met by the older Christian bookstores in Macon; so we have focused on enriching the spirituality of those who had nowhere in Macon to get books.

       As one pastor of another church asked, “Where in Macon can you find books by Henri Nouwen?” The answer is now, “At the Macon Ecumenical Bookstore.”

      We also carry a supply of music CDs, jewelry, and gift items.

      Even if one doesn’t buy anything, the Macon Ecumenical Bookstore is a pleasant place to browse, ruminate, or sit down for a chat with one of our volunteers.
