What is "ekklesia"

n. (alternative form of ecclesia English)

Ekklesia is an independent, not-for-profit British think tank which examines the role of religion in public life and advocates transformative theological ideas and solutions. Jonathan Bartley and Simon Barrow are the founders and co-directors.

Ekklesia's approach to religion has led to some criticism. A columnist for The Daily Telegraph called it the "smuggest think tank in Christendom".

Ekklesia is the debut album released by the American Christian metalcore band For Today. The album was released on April 1, 2008 through Facedown Records. A version of the album featuring their old lead singer has found its way onto the internet through the means of a blogspot page. The album includes 10 tracks with a range in different sounds from the metal genre as well as an instrumental track and intro. According to the liner notes, Matt Tyler, the band's former vocalist, is featured on "Redemption" and "A Higher Standard".
