South African Council of Churches

The South African Council of Churches (SACC) is an ecumenical organization founded in 1968 to promote unity among Christian denominations in South Africa. It plays a significant role in advocating for social justice, human rights, and ethical values, especially during apartheid and its aftermath. The SACC seeks to address issues such as poverty, inequality, and social injustices through collaborative efforts and public engagement. By bringing together various churches, it aims to provide a collective voice for Christians and influence positive change in society while fostering dialogue and cooperation within communities.
