what we believe

Ekklesia is an international society committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ, conforming to the Lambeth Quadrilateral, which affirms:


The authority of the Scriptures


The faith of the historic Creeds


The Sacraments as instituted by Jesus


Historic Apostolic Ministry


The Ekklesia Society was established in 1996 as a result of the drift of the western Anglican churches from Biblical faith. Genuine Biblical faith includes fidelity to the historic teaching of who God is and how we are to live. Key elements of this are both evangelism and care for the poor. Ekklesia has fostered relationships among leaders in the global south and churches still aligned with orthodox theology and practice in North America and served as a catalyst for many development projects.


In May of 2000, a group of Primates (leading Archbishops in the Anglican Communion around the world) invited Ekklesia to re-organize under their authority. They called Canon Bill Atwood to leave parish ministry to serve full time as Ekklesia's General Secretary. Ekklesia's Primates Council is led by Archbishop Greg Venables. Other key Primates involved have included Archbishops Drexel Gomez (West Indies), David Gitari (Kenya), Donald Mtetemela (Tanzania), Henry Orombi (Uganda), Bernard Malango (Central Africa), and Benjamin Nzimbi (Kenya). Several new Primates agreed to join the Council when they came into office.


In June 2007, Canon Atwood was elected and confirmed as Suffragan Bishop for International Affairs in the All Saints Cathedral Diocese in Nairobi under Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi, Primate of the Anglican Church of Kenya. Bishops Bill Atwood and Bill Murdoch were consecrated in Nairobi in August 2007 by a dozen Archbishops/Primates and a host of other bishops.
