The Lambeth Marketplace

lambeth marketplace

Booking is now open for those wishing to sell things to the Bishops at the Lambeth Conference. I imagine they are looking for stalls selling doves and cattle and there will probably be a few moneychangers booths. Information about booking a stand is here. If you’re interested be quick, as a quarter have gone and I suspect the rest will go within days.

When this popped up in the feed reader I got straight on the phone to them, as I do always like to run my own stall. It really is great fun. But having pondered and reflected I don’t think I can really afford the thousand pounds plus all the accommodation and hire of a private dressing room etc. You do get a lot more for your money than at the Christian Resources Exhibition (for instance), but even so I just don’t think that a lot of the Bishops are going to be interested in cartoons for their parish magazines.

The folks on Mad Priest’s blog have been having some fun working out what things would be “deemed to be not in keeping of the spirit of the conference”. Aren’t they naughty.

    Perhaps the one you should be targetting is the CCSA Annual Conference (Church and Cathedral Shops Association):

    Good complement to CRE. And a damn site cheaper. Likely to be next year now.

    Suggest you phone not email as their ws is out of date.

    I know at least two bishops who like your work! It’s true however that the usefulness (due to lack of magazine) is limited… Perhaps you should campaign like the Fairtrade movement to get dioceses signing up to be Fairly Drawn diocese with a special wibmark of approval?? ;oP

    “The acts of worship that we perform have their integrity. I don’t want to see amateurish messing around compromising what’s going on.”

    I guess ABC takes a similar approach to the marketplace – nothing shoddy or second hand for the THE FAITH that Charlie will have to sign up to…
