Vic-Tas

Pastor Matt Anker was installed in the Lutheran church’s senior international mission role on 17 February by LCA Bishop John Henderson at Hamilton, Victoria.

The homes of at least two LCA members from Townsville were inundated during the North Queensland city’s floods from late last month, in which 1.4 metres of rain fell in just 12 days and at least three people died.

Pastor Neville Otto, the LCA’s Secretary of the Church since 2009, has returned to parish ministry.

LCA members Dorothy Hamilton, Bernie MacKenzie and The Honourable Warren Truss have been recognised in the Australia Day 2019 Honours List.

Pastor Tim Stringer is the new member of the LCA/NZ’s General Church Board, replacing the late Bishop James Haak.

Three Australian Lutheran College graduates have joined the ranks of pastors of the Lutheran Church of Australia this week.
