In 2017, the General Assembly voted to change the name of the organisation from the European Evangelical Accrediting Association (EEAA) to the European Council for Theological Education (ECTE).
This was done in order to meet the future challenges for evangelical theological education in Europe, in a newly re-developed and refocused vision that however maintained much of the organisation’s historical identity and mission. The broader name of the organisation is the European Council for Theological Education that will include the work of resourcing, networking and accreditation.
The EEAA will remain as a department of the ECTE and the work of accreditation will operate as a sub/brand.
