“We are continually grateful to our landlords (The United Reform Church) who have been extremely gracious by not increasing our monthly rent in times when services like gas and electric have substantially risen. They have been extremely sympathetic to our needs and bore the cost thankfully without increasing the rent, their kindness has helped us to continue trading in difficult times when there is an increasing number of people who now use the internet to purchase their books and Christian literature.” — page 6
