Lutheran Archives

A woman had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. As she was getting her things ‘in order’, she contacted her pastor and asked him to come to her house to discuss her final wishes…

Lutheran Archives last week marked 100 years of gathering, preserving and sharing the records, statistics and stories of the congregations, departments, ministries and individuals of Lutheran churches in Australia and New Zealand.

If your congregation has marked a milestone in the life of your faith community recently, then Lutheran Archives is keen to receive documents and photos commemorating the occasion.

Join Friends of Lutheran Archives on 15 August for the online launch of Enlightened Aboriginal Futures and Sandhill Girl.

The expansive Lutheran Archives collection can now be explored online, thanks to the release of a new website showcasing the close to 2500 linear metres of records held by the archive.

A fixture in many homes and churches across the LCANZ, the ‘Lutheran Hymnal’ turns 50 this year.
