History

CLC was founded in 1941 in Colchester, England by Ken and Bessie Adams as “The Evangelical Publishing House”.[2][3] This publishing house worked actively even through the Second World War times. In 1944 appeared first departments out of England: in Australia and Canada. Next non-English CLC bookshops were founded in the USA and Dominica in 1947. After that, opening of new bookshops and Christian publishing houses had place almost every year.[4] Nowadays CLC International is established in 57 countries. It is represented by more than 180 bookshops, 18 distribution warehouses and 18 publishing houses.

Organization
