5,000 Christians Call for Episcopal Financial Transparency
November 12th, 2007

Thousands of concerned Christians signed an American Anglican Council (AAC) petition calling for financial transparency from the top leadership of The Episcopal Church (TEC). 5,752 people signed the online petition that called for “The Episcopal Church to state how much money [it] has spent since 2004 on litigation against individuals and parishes and to make public the source of the money for said litigation.”

“People who have given their money and offerings to the church have a right to know how it’s being spent,” said Bishop-elect David C. Anderson, president and CEO of the AAC.

The petition was signed by 697 clergy members and 24 bishops. A vast majority of those who signed the petition–3,697–are Episcopalian.
