After nine years serving as ALC’s principal, Pastor James Winderlich has announced his intention to end his tenure at the college by the end of 2023 and return to congregational ministry.

Grace as God’s unifying gift to his church will be the thematic focus of next year’s LCANZ 21st Convention of General Synod in Adelaide.

The eight Way Forward working groups appointed by the General Church Board and College of Bishops have been inducted and have commenced their tasks. As subject matter experts, they will support the project management team in coordinating the ordination Way Forward response.

The project team implementing the 2021–23 General Synod resolution on ordination is calling for models for a way forward in which the LCANZ could operate as ‘one church with two different practices of ordination’.

The LCANZ will next month launch regular audio podcasts as a new way of sharing stories with the wider church community.

The offering from this year’s LCANZ Convention of General Synod in-person meetings is contributing more than $30,000 towards a Finke River Mission (FRM) project producing, revising or reprinting Lutheran song and hymnbooks in Central Australian Aboriginal languages.
