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.
