While every Walk My Way event is a special chance to show practical support through Australian Lutheran World Service for children whose lives are impacted by war and poverty, there was another reason this year’s Adelaide event was extra special, with the 3 May event doubling as the public farewell to the North Adelaide site of Australian Lutheran College.
Joyful praise has rung out among Lutheran communities across Australia and in New Zealand in recent months, as the LCANZ has welcomed seven new pastors – bringing to eight the total of ordinations so far this year.
