Details of the improved Safe Church training program will be officially released to the church in LCA eNews on 30 April 2024.

by Bishop Paul Smith

We are made people of hope by the cross and empty grave of our Lord Jesus Christ. But this hope is not simply being positive or wishful thinking. This is living by faith in the one who takes the sin of the world upon himself and, therefore, puts us right with God by his own death as the sinless one.

In order to maintain its support of the LCA in a changing regulatory environment, LLL is returning to Religious Charitable Development Fund (RCDF) status.

Pastor Richard Schwedes will be the next bishop of the New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory District of the LCANZ.

A short-term property adviser has been appointed to facilitate the sale of the LCANZ’s Churchwide Office and Australian Lutheran College (ALC) sites in North Adelaide. The General Church Board resolved in November last year to place the properties on the market.

Australian Lutheran College’s (ALC) annual Festival of Learning last month drew 60 participants from around Australia and from as far away as Germany, Finland and Africa.
