by Bishop Paul Smith

In a Father’s Day message, LCANZ Bishop Paul Smith reflects on the gift and calling of fatherhood, encouraging Christians to give thanks for their fathers, pray for them and commend those who have died to God’s mercy.

The theme and logo for next year’s 22nd Regular Convention of General Synod in Brisbane have been unveiled, with ‘Open Arms’ and its tagline, ‘Receiving Abundantly – Sharing Generously’, celebrating God’s abundant gifts and the church’s calling to receive them with gratitude and share them.
