EKKLESIA PUBLISHING was established in 2015/16 and has so far produced fifteen titles (including two currently in production), with a number of others in process for 2025. Though Ekklesia’s think-tank and news briefing services have ended, and the limited company that ran them is being wound up, publishing will go on as a sole trader business.
Our aim is to bring to market high quality books which help change the way we look at the world based on the values of social justice, peacemaking, sustainability and inclusion. Many of our authors and contributors write from a deeply rooted and progressive Christian perspective, but we want to encourage conversation across a spectrum of beliefs and spiritually informed viewpoints, religious or otherwise. Ekklesia Publishing also seeks to build a bridge between disciplined thinking and popular expression and discussion.
Forthcoming and in consideration at present are a book on Bishop George Bell and the recent controversy around him, by Ruth Greyson, with a contribution from Bell and Bonhoeffer scholar Keith Clements; Ekklesia director Simon Barrow’s book, Against the Religion of Power: Telling a Different Christian Story; and Stephen Kuhrt’s powerful Safeguarding the Institution: How the culture of the Church of England facilitates abuse.
There are also titles forthcoming from Siglum, which will now operate fully independently of Ekklesia Publishing.
We are currently looking for financial support and investment in this area of work. Ekklesia Publishing contact form to connect with us if you have offers or ideas.
