LCA bishop

Andy Marr was ordained as a Specific Ministry Pastor last month by LCA/NZ Bishop John Henderson at St Paul’s Lutheran Community Church at Upper Moutere in New Zealand.

Overseas Lutheran church leaders have expressed their sympathy, support and prayers for members of the LCA/NZ in the midst of the bushfire crisis in Australia.

Nearly 200 people attended the ordination service for Jeffrey Wheeler at Mount Liebig, 325 kilometres west of Alice Springs.

The General Church Board (GCB) and the College of Bishops (CoB) of the LCA/NZ will meet again in early 2020 to continue looking at the issue of ordination in the church.

From 17 to 23 June, people from all around the world observed Refugee Week for 2019.

As National Sorry Day (Sunday 26 May) and Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June) approaches, LCA Bishop Henderson encourages all Australians to show each other Jesus’ reconciling love.
