Message from Bishop Richard
Dear colleagues in Mission in New Zealand
I am looking forward to my visit to New Zealand where I will be visiting congregations and leading Way Forward presentations. One crucial aspect of my visits is to support and listen to congregations, pastors and church workers supporting them in their local mission. As we are part of the Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand, it is important that all of us be engaged in the discussions of upcoming LCANZ Synod through prayer, listening and reflecting on the issues before Synod. I pray that God is continuing to encourage and bless you
