All Change at Ekklesia

Archive for our former think-tank activity and change agency on beliefs, ethics and politics

EKKLESIA has ceased its work as a think-tank and as a daily provider of news briefings as of September 2024. But its book publishing operation, a newsletter, and an informal network via social media will be maintained independently.

ARCHIVE: News Briefing ARCHIVE: Commentary ARCHIVE: Update

 

This website is a substantial online archive of the great majority of the material we published from 2002, when we were founded. It comprises some 30,000 pages, including all our reports and news briefing. Go to the blue buttons above, and use the drop-down menus at the top to access the archive.

This page is also a gateway to continuing activities. Ekklesia Publishing has its website here. The newsletter, Illuminations, is available here. Stay part of our network on social media via X/Twitter and our Facebook page and group.

Links to thirty of the organisations, networks and news sources we have developed a particular affinity and connection with over the years are featured below. Please give them your support, and keep the momentum of positive change in a troubled world moving forward.  

Between now and summer 2025, Ekklesia Network will also be co-sponsoring a final series of events to honour the work of the past nearly quarter century in highlighting fresh, transformative approaches to peace, justice and sustainability in a challenging C21st. More information will follow here, in the newsletter, and on social media.​ [Latest: St James Leith – showing the film about conflict, peace and justice in Palestine, ‘Where Olive Trees Weep’, 6:30pm, Friday 25 October 2024. Booking here.]

In 2025 Ekklesia Publishing will be making available a collection of new essays, material from our work over the past two decades, and signposts for the future. This will be entitled Thinking Without Tanks: Beliefs, Politics and Ethics Reconsidered.

We are still open to our think-tank and/or news briefing work being picked up and continued by suitable partners in the future. If you are interested, please write via the Illuminations newsletter, which is maintained by our director from 2005-2024, Simon Barrow.

Lastly, a huge thank-you to all who have contributed to the activity, work and provocations of Ekklesia over the past 22 years, both paid and (mostly!) unpaid.  Our founder, Jonathan Bartley, deserves particular mention, along with our associates past and present, former staff and contributors.

We could not have done it without you!
