SPCK

SPCK. The ‘Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge’. It was founded by T. Bray and others in 1698 ‘to promote and encourage the erection of charity schools in … England and Wales; to disperse, both at home and abroad, Bibles and tracts of religion’, and generally to promote Christian knowledge. Much of its original educational and missionary work was taken over by the National Society and the SPG. It now operates in three divisions: SPCK Worldwide, which by funding helps to make books available overseas; publishing; and bookselling.
