Dear Dave,

I saw a wonderful cartoon of yours yesterday or the day before showing a screen hiding 2 people and a dog. In front of the screen was a group of people handing over something saying they represented x,000 Anglicans. But I can’t find it now. Please will you let me have the link.

I’ve missed your posts very much.

with best wishes,

Anne Lee

Comment on Who are the ‘ENC Management company’? by Phil Groom

In all the chaos and confusion, just strikes me as incredibly sad that they can’t even spell ‘Cathedral’ correctly. At first I wondered if this was a typo from Dave (sorry, mate!), but no, ‘Cathederal’ is the way it’s spelt at Companies House…

Dave, we had to do the same a while back. In the end we used a plugin to access the php database. It is possible, just tricky. Let me know if I can help – I can probably unravel what we did.

However, their UK bookshops’ website clearly state’s the company’s name as being “Saint Stephen the Great LLC”. They are obviously mistaking the limited liability partnership as being an LLC, but as you rightly point out, there is no provision for a ‘limited liabilty company’ in UK company law only partnership. This link gives more info:

Dyfrig well done. How did the Brewer’s do the Australian thing? Can Third Space Bookshops and the Orthodox Church Mission Fund be tracked?

On a bit of a different point, as far as I know Durham Cathedral Shop has it’s own bank account. Any vicar who has an account with the shop is told to make cheques out to “The Durham Cathedral Shop”. Surely those cheques cannot be deposited in any other account. Maybe other shops that used to operate under SSG-LLC have had to do their banking differently. The commenter on Phil Groom’s blog might just have lumped all shops together. It’s kind of easy to focus on Durham and Chichester.

I must say I am astonished to find that WordPress does not offer a proper user interface to restore a backup, only the instructions here which are clearly designed for geeks.

But what you may be able to do if you can get into the old site at all is to do an export. Go into the control panel of the old site and go to “Manage” then “Export”, and save the WXR file. Then set up a new WordPress blog at your new site, then at its control panel go to “Manage” then “Import”, then “WordPress”, browse for your WXR backup file and upload. The worrying thing may be the 2MB size limit, I’m not sure what you can do if the WXR file is larger than that as mine is.

In our church choir we routinely give those whom we cannot physically reach the 2 finger peace sign…Is this disrespectful? We are in the states….

Comment on SSG files for bankruptcy by canon law

canon law — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:24:59 +0000

So the question I have is what’s the low down on ENC Managment – who and what are they?? as I can find no reference to them – and having read Chapter 11 info (http://www.uscourts.gov/bankruptcycourts/bankruptcybasics/chapter11.html#transfer) I couldn’t see where it stated or verified MR Brewers statements made to employees – in fact in point of reference it makes a lot of noise about Debtor In Possession and being able to continue running the business whilst the new plan is formulated and re-organisation occurs!
‘Upon filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 or, in an involuntary case, the entry of an order for relief, the debtor automatically assumes an additional identity as the “debtor in possession.” 11 U.S.C. § 1101. The term refers to a debtor that keeps possession and control of its assets while undergoing a reorganization under chapter 11, without the appointment of a case trustee. A debtor will remain a debtor in possession until the debtor’s plan of reorganization is confirmed, the debtor’s case is dismissed or converted to chapter 7, or a chapter 11 trustee is appointed. The appointment or election of a trustee occurs only in a small number of cases. Generally, the debtor, as “debtor in possession,” operates the business and performs many of the functions that a trustee performs in cases under other chapters’.
unless of course they have claimed chapter 11 and then immediately gone ahead and filed for liquidation, rather than the more normal chapter 7 route!
I am of course assuming that ENC Management – whomever they happen to be – are not the appointed trustee? but as I know and can find nothing about them I dont know this.

Also interesting is that the new Durham and Chichester trading co’s are registered with a country of origin as Australia! – by the way who are Lynn Yard and Bradley Smith??

This seems to me very interesting – given all that is going on and has gone on and with ENC showing up but no clearer details on the filing for chapter 11 and the two shops being outsourced prior to the bankruptcy filing I do hope that nothing could fit this definition:

“Bankruptcy Fraud

Bankruptcy, by definition, is when a debtor is declared – either by creditors or his own account – legally insolvent. His property is liquidated and divided among his creditors to pay his debts. But when a debtor falsely claims bankruptcy, attempts to conceal his assets, launches petition mills or files multiple claims, he is committing bankruptcy fraud – a federal offense.
Types of Bankruptcy Fraud

Concealment of assets, petition mills, and multiple filings are the most common types of bankruptcy fraud.
Concealment of Assets

Concealment of assets accounts for nearly 70 percent of all fraudulent bankruptcy cases filed by individuals. This type of fraud occurs when a person purposely fails to list every one of his assets on his bankruptcy claim, knowing that creditors cannot liquidate valuables of which they are not aware. Similarly, business owners frequently conceal assets when filing for bankruptcy – they transfer money or properties to their relatives’ or associates’ names so that the assets cannot be confiscated.”

How sad this is – especially for all the staff & ex-staff who are the ones that yet again are made to suffer for the actions of the owners of the company.
