Religion is a major world issue affecting politics and community cohesion, and our theme of ‘Faiths:Connected’ enabled us to deepen relationships with our neighbours of other traditions and to learn something about each other. Using the medium of the arts allowed us to meet and interact in a relaxed way, and the artists receptions gathered people who had never been in the Cathedral before. Cathedrals are in the news! Following the critical visitation reports on Exeter and Peterborough last year, there has been much media comment. All Cathedrals face similar ambiguities ‐ they are the most successful part of the Church in terms of numbers, growth and community engagement, yet many are struggling financially.

Since 1698 we have been promoting Christian ideas and values, and continue to do so today by publishing, and supporting the publishing of, books and resources for people of all denominational and faith backgrounds. Our broad range of titles reflects the diversity of Christian traditions, covering many genres and including leading authors such as Tom Wright, Rowan Williams, Paula Gooder, Graham Tomlin and Janet Morley. Our team works hard to provide books that suit the needs of every Christian, whether you are a student, church leader or lay reader. From academic works and biblical studies – including the bestselling For Everyone commentary series – that inform, support and educate, to offerings of practical and pastoral help, such as the Little Books of Guidance, which tackle life’s biggest questions, or the SPCK Library of Ministry, there is something for everyone. Our expanding range has stories to inspire, provoke and encourage reflection. Some of these are true stories, such as the story of Hope for Justice’s fight to end modern-day slavery in Impossible Is a Dare and Terry Waite’s reflections on his travels and experiences in Solitude. Others are fictional, from authors such as Catherine Fox, Kate Charles and Simon Parke in our vibrant Marylebone House imprint. Our books on prayer, worship and spirituality help people grow in faith.
