The Episcopal Churchmen for South Africa (ECSA) was founded in 1956 as a non-profit organization of Episcopal laypeople to support the work and witness of the Anglican Church in the Province of South Africa, particularly as it faced the doctrine and practice of apartheid. William "Bill" Johnston was the founder, President, and only paid staff person. In the 1980s, it was renamed Episcopal Churchpeople for a Free Southern Africa (ECSA). ECSA's slogan was "Toward a free Southern Africa." Most of its work related to the struggle for Namibian independence and against apartheid in South Africa. After Johnston's death in 1998, the organization closed, and its remaining archives were sent to the National Archives of Namibia.
