Lutheran Archives talks go live online

Lutheran Archives has opened up its stories to the whole Lutheran Church membership and beyond, with monthly talks streaming live on the Friends of Lutheran Archives (FoLA) YouTube channel.

The mission of Lutheran Archives is to preserve the story of the LCA and make it accessible for generations to come. Friends of Lutheran Archives supports this work by promoting research and enabling the people of the church and beyond to ‘enjoy the harvest’, curating a program of public talks presented by researchers on a diverse range of historical topics relevant to the Lutheran story in Australia.

These monthly public meetings are held in person at Immanuel Lutheran Church, North Adelaide, and livestreamed straight to YouTube. You can tune into FoLA livestreams every month at the same place: www.youtube.com/@friendsoflutheranarchives9644/live
