implementation-ordination

The LCANZ has joyfully welcomed two new pastors: Mark Tung, ordained in Auckland on 6 April, New Zealand, to serve the Mandarin-speaking Botany Lutheran Church, and Maria Rudolph, the church’s first female pastor, ordained in Adelaide on 13 April. She will serve at St John’s Lutheran Church Perth.

The four pathways to ordination in the LCANZ are explained in the new ‘Candidacy Pathways for the Office of the Public Ministry’ document released this month.
