An introduction to the Adventist Book Centre (London)

There are many Seventh-day Adventists living in London who take part in and benefit from the publishing ministry of the church. The members of the church take on the responsibility of spreading the church's message through booksellers and more direct methods. This article will introduce you to the Seventh-day Adventist publishing and book-selling ventures.

Seventh-day Adventists in the United Kingdom

In 2005, there were almost 25000 Seventh-day Adventists in the United Kingdom. Around 13000 of these adventists live in London. There are Seventh-day Adventist writers such as Ellen G. White. Adventists believe that their writings helped the Adventist church to become the worldwide movement that it is today. The Adventist Book Centre is the retail outlet of the Adventist Church book publishing ministry. Stanborough Press is the representative of the Adventist Book Centre in the United Kingdom. As at 01.08.11, the Adventist Book Centre's address is: Adventist Book Centre (south) Ltd, Alma Park, Grantham Lincolnshire, NG31 9SL. There is also an ABC bookshop at the corner of Crawford Place and Brendon Street, London, W1H 5HD. All Seventh-day adventists are asked to take part in the distribution of church literature. The books and pamphlets are distributed by means of libraries, Christian book parties, door to door deliveries, stands which are located in high traffic public places and other locations, such as doctors' surgeries. There are two Seventh-day Adventist publishers who run AdventistBookCenter.com. The Adventist Book Centres take care of the physical delivery of books that are ordered from the website.

Spreading the word

The Seventh-day Adventist church publishes an extensive range of books and publications on family, health and the Gospel. Additionally, there is a production of church magazines such as Life.info and Focus. There are also more indirect ways of spreading the message of the Seventh-day Adventist church, such as the Adventist singles connection website at Adventistsinglesconnection.com This website facilitates adventists' dating. It advances the cause of bringing Adventist single people together in an environment where they can feel at ease with being adventists as well as part of the younger generation. The organisation that governs the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The general conference of the SDA has a website at Adventist.org.
