Honest stories of our people

On the road with the body of believers

When people think of pilgrimage, many imagine a once-in-a-lifetime journey, such as crossing the Pyrenees on the Camino de Santiago. But while Bethany Marsh has known similar challenges and blessings as a pilgrim, her experience of the spiritual discipline is very different.

LCA bishops explain ordination pathways

There is not one exclusive pathway to ordination in the LCANZ. There are in fact four pathways, which are explained in the ‘Candidacy Pathways for the Office of the Public Ministry’ document released to the church recently.

Keeping busy in the Lord’s service

Having met as teachers at a Lutheran college more than 50 years ago, Lois and Lyall Kupke have continued to serve their church throughout their lives together, believing as St Paul told the church in Corinth that 'nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless'.

Chilling out before a busy year

Australian Lutheran College (ALC) Principal Tim Stringer recently took the chance to escape Adelaide’s summer heat and catch up on some essential reading before a game with the Adelaide Vintage Reds in the Old Timers Ice Hockey Australia Network. Dr Tim and the staff at ALC are looking forward to a busy and exciting year, with the largest number of new pastoral ministry enrolments in more than a decade set to begin studies towards pastoral ministry.

Send us a photograph featuring a recent copy of The Lutheran and it may appear here and on page 2 of a future issue.

What subscribers say about The Lutheran

‘I love the way The Lutheran openly proclaims the gospel as it should be, encouraging and uplifting all readers that our God calls and gifts us for his purposes in his kingdom. I’m excited to hear diverse stories of our own people where the life-giving love of God is embraced and put into practice!’

I’m one of the older generation but, I hope these days with a renewed understanding and vision for ’the Church’. I consider The Lutheran is a very valuable resource to assist our daily walk going forward.

I enjoy reading about all the various ministries initiatives happening around Australia, New Zealand and beyond which I may not ever hear about if it wasn’t for The Lutheran.

Our copy of The Lutheran arrived today and I would like you to know how much we appreciate reading it. You present the lifesaving power of the gospel. You present such a positive church which is encouraging us to keep supporting people.
