ATLANTA, GA  – ECFA PRESS RELEASE

The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of the American Anglican Council of Atlanta, GA.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.

The American Anglican Council joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 20 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal.  When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.

“We are pleased to accredit a ministry committed to build up and defend Great Commission Anglican churches in North America and worldwide through advocacy, counsel, leadership development, and equipping the local church,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.

Founded in 1996, the American Anglican Council (www.americananglican.org) is a network of individuals, parishes, dioceses, and ministries who affirm biblical authority and Christian orthodoxy within the Anglican Communion.
