A message from the LCANZ bishops
In this video the College of Bishops present a message of hope in times of change, uncertainty and anxiety. We invite you to watch this video and share it with others who are seeking guidance and hope as we prepare for the General Synod and the decision on the Way Forward proposal. Please find a time to show this during or after a worship service.
Prepare and pray for our Convention of General Synod
Let's take every opportunity to prepare our hearts and minds for General Synod and the way forward for our church.
Follow the link below to a range of resources prepared by the Pastoral Care working party. Please use them - as congregations, small groups and individuals – to listen, reflect and pray.
(The resources are also integrated into your regular Worship Planning Pages.)
Are you seeking pastoral care?
As we embark on a year of challenges and opportunities, the College of Bishops, in partnership with the Pastoral Care Working Group of the Way Forward project, have carefully considered how we can pastorally care for our people. Our remit included how to determine the most appropriate pastoral care needs of the LCANZ in the lead-up to General Synod 2024 and beyond. As we listened to your greatest concerns, there emerged a need to provide a pastoral care program that can be sustained beyond 2024 to support, encourage and empower members of the LCANZ. We are thrilled to introduce and launch a comprehensive and compassionate approach to addressing the pastoral care needs within our church.
