The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion

Trustees’ report 31 December 2021

Object

The object of The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion (‘EFAC’ or ‘the charity’) is to further fellowship between Anglican evangelicals throughout the world.

Constitution and aims

EFAC was registered as a charity on 12 November 1962 as an unincorporated association governed by a Constitution.

EFAC was re-registered as a charitable incorporated organisation (‘CIO’) with the Charity Commission on 13 May 2020 (registration number 1189461). The assets, liabilities and activities of EFAC (registered charity number 212314) were transferred to the CIO with effect from 31 December 2020. EFAC (registered charity number 212314) was removed from the Charity Commission register during 2022.

Established in 1961 by the late Revd Dr John Stott CBE, sometime Rector of All Soul’s Langham Place, London, Chaplain to HM The Queen and leading evangelical theologian, the purpose of EFAC was, and continues to be, to encourage and develop biblically faithful fellowship, teaching and mission throughout the Anglican Communion.

EFAC’s aims rest on the conviction that a strong biblical witness is essential for the life and health of the Anglican Communion, within the wider context of seeking first God’s kingdom and the building up of His people. The charity’s aims, as set out in its Constitution, are as follows:

Public benefit

The Trustees recognise their responsibilities towards public benefit under the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and have had regard to the guidance from the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Trustees believe that EFAC, in advancing the Christian religion, benefits individuals and society by motivating people through its vision of a transformed and peacefilled world and the flourishing of humankind under God, to serve God and love their neighbours. To this end, EFAC advances the Christian religion by enabling and supporting biblically faithful fellowship, teaching and mission throughout the Anglican Communion.

Governance and organisation

Trustees

The charity has a board of trustees which ensures that (i) the charity is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit in accordance with its Constitution, (ii) the charity is in

compliance with the Constitution and UK charity law, (iii) the charity’s assets and resources are appropriately safeguarded and only used to support or carry out EFAC’s purposes, and (iv) there is appropriate oversight and accountability of staff and committees within EFAC regarding their management, activities and decisions.

From the charity’s re-registration as a CIO on 13 May 2020 and to the date of this report, the Trustees of EFAC were as follows:

Governance and organisation (contd)

Council

EFAC’s membership comprises (i) those national or regional evangelical groups in the Anglican Communion (‘group members’) and (ii) those individual Anglican evangelicals (‘individual members’) whom the Council, at its discretion, admits to membership. Upon admission to membership each member affirms their agreement with EFAC’s Aims and Statement of Faith and the additional declarations set out in EFAC’s Constitution.

Under its Constitution, EFAC’s affairs are administered and managed by a Council which consists of at least one, and not more than 2, representatives from each group member, being normally the group member’s president or chairman and secretary, or such other persons as the group member may by resolution of its governing body appoint. The Council also includes all the members of its Executive Committee.

At 31 December 2021, together with the members of the Executive Committee, the Council comprised the following:

Governance and organisation (contd)

During 2021, The Revd Dr Peter Walker relinquished his role as EFAC’s Theological Resource Network (TRN).

Julia Cameron was appointed as EFAC’s Director of Publishing during 2019. Julia brings over 25 years of publishing experience, including international publishing with OMF International, IFES and the Lausanne Movement. Julia’s personal website is www.dictumpress.com.

Key activities and outcomes

EFAC seeks, through its global fellowships, fora and resources, to equip evangelical Anglicans to promote the gospel at every level - locally and globally, and to build upon the 5 Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion:

Activities during 2021

During 2021, planning continued towards the Lambeth Conference which was rescheduled from July 2020 to July 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Further details of these plans are set out below in the objectives for 2022.

In March, EFAC co-hosted an event celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of our founder, John Stott, on 27 April 2021 in conjunction with the Church of England Evangelical Council, the Langham Partnership, the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity and All Souls, Langham Place. A service was held at All Souls, Langham Place on that date, with speakers from around the world, to give thanks for the inheritance of faith from John Stott and to explore his legacy for today. Reference was made to the work done through Lausanne, Arocha, IFES, and other organisations close to John Stott’s heart.

In addition, a global study for evangelical clergy of John Stott’s book, Through the Bible Through the Year, commenced in August 2021 and will continue until August 2022. The objective is to build up fellowship groups through the reading of this study together.

EFAC also supported a Ugandan evangelistic radio project during the year.

Objectives and plans for 2022

EFAC’s objectives for the five years from 2020 to 2024 are as follows:

EFAC will seek to achieve these objectives through:

Key activities and outcomes (continued)

Other specific activities planned for 2022 comprise:

Financial review

The financial results for the EFAC charitable incorporated organisation are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 7. The results for the original EFAC charity, registered number 212314, are set out in the annual report and financial statements for that entity and are available on request or via the website of the Charity Commission. Prior year comparative information below relates to the original EFAC charity.

During 2021, EFAC had income of £22,943 (2020 – £28,270), comprising donations of £20,810 (2020 - £26,072) and investment income of £2,133 (2020 - £2,198). Of these donations, £6,700 (2020 - £7,550) was received specifically to support the work of the Director of Publishing and £641 to support the Uganda radio project; these donations were, accordingly, accounted for as restricted funds.

Of the total expenditure of £23,701 (2020 - £25,583), £22,983 (2020 - £24,813) was expended on charitable activities, as detailed in note 3 to the financial statements. Expenditure primarily comprised honoraria payments made to the General Secretary and the Director of Publishing, publishing related costs, and costs relating to the John Stott Centenary celebrations and the Uganda radio project. After taking account of movements on investments, the charity’s net generation of funds for the year was £3,105 (2020 - £842).

5

The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion

Trustees’ report

31 December 2021

At the end of 2021, EFAC had net assets of £75,343 (2020 - £72,238), as detailed in the balance sheet set out on page 8. The principal assets of the charity were investments of £62,853 (2020 – £57,575) and cash of £14,050 (2020 - £14,663).

Reserves policy

EFAC’s free reserves at 31 December 2021 totalled £69,745 (2020 - £66,695), comprising the charity’s total unrestricted funds. The Trustees have reviewed the level of free reserves required by the charity, taking particular note of the current uncertainty of future income streams from donors. Consequently, the trustees have set an objective of maintaining a level of free reserves of not less than £50,000. The Trustees keep this reserves policy under regular review.

Financial plans for 2022

The Trustees are continuing to focus on developing regular financial income streams from group members, trusts, churches and individual supporters. Until there is greater certainty concerning future income, it will be necessary to manage day-to-day operations carefully to ensure that the charity’s cash flow is appropriately controlled.

Gratitude for donors’ support

God has continued to be generous in His provision for us. We believe that if we act as responsible stewards of the gifts that He has given to us, He will continue to provide for EFAC’s ministry in 2022 and beyond.

The Trustees are very appreciative of the numerous generous gifts made by many since EFAC’s rebirth in 2017. However, we would like to be in a position to be able to do more going forward and we therefore encourage every group member and all of our other supporters to consider the extent to which they are able to provide regular financial support for EFAC’s work.

Principal risks

The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the EFAC is exposed and are satisfied that appropriate processes are in place to mitigate those risks. The key risk to which the charity is exposed is the lack of a regular stream of income from donors and the consequent risk of being able to maintain the level of current operations.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

6

The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion

Trustees’ report 31 December 2021

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the charity’s trusts. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion

Independent Examiner’s report

31 December 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion (charity number 1189461) for the period ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Charities Act’) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of opinion

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination and confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts

Period ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

All assets, liabilities and activities of the original registered charity, no. 212314, were transferred to the CIO on 31 December 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (SORP FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. With respect to the next reporting period, the most significant areas of uncertainty are the regularity of the charity’s income stream from donor groups and individuals, and the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets which affect the carrying value of the charity’s assets.

(b) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds represent funds that are not subject to any constraints regarding their use and are available for the general purposes of the charity. These include funds designated by the trustees for a particular purpose, as explained in note 7.

Restricted funds represent donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the trustees for a specific object. These funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Details of the restricted funds are provided in note 7.

(c) Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised when the entitlement to the economic benefit has passed to the charity and its monetary value can be measured reliably. Amounts receivable under forms of planned giving are only recognised when received from the donor. Grants and legacies are accounted for when entitlement is notified, the amount receivable is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt is probable. Income tax recoverable on donations given under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.

(d) Investment income

Dividend and interest income from investments are recognised on an accruals basis upon receipt from the investment managers.

(e) Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.

The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion

Notes to the accounts

Period ended 31 December 2021

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

(f) Investments

Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses are recognised upon the disposal of investments. Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on the revaluation of investments at the year end and are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

(g) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
