LCANZ Bishop Paul Smith and LM-A President-elect Anker met together on 15 July with respectful engagement for the establishment of a proper relationship between the LCANZ and LM-A. On Monday 22 July, the General Church Board (GCB) and the College of Bishops (CoB) notified LCANZ pastors and congregational leaders that a new Lutheran body called Lutheran Mission-Australia (LM-A) has been established.
A letter issued by GCB-CoB states: ‘The LCANZ receives LM-A as sisters and brothers in Christ who are faithful to the Scriptures with us, and who preach, teach and confess the doctrine of the Lutheran Confessions with us, but who are now a separate Lutheran body. LM-A President-elect Pastor Matt Anker said, ‘I am grateful for how Bishop Smith and other LCA leaders have assisted me during this time of transition and for their commitment to peaceful and godly engagement with LM-A into the future’.
If you would like to know more about LM-A you can attend an information session where President-elect Pastor Matt Anker and other members of the Executive or Board of Management will be present.
