Lutheran Mission - Australia: President Matt Anker

What is Lutheran Mission - Australia (LM-A) and why did it begin? The Rev. Matt Anker, President of Lutheran Mission - Australia, joins Andy and Sarah to begin our series on Lutheranism in Australia, sharing a brief history of the Lutheran Church in Australia, the theological history leading to the Theses of Agreement, when it became clear a new mission was needed, what has been important in the formation of Lutheran Mission - Australia, how the formation of a new mission has been received, what has brought joy to everyone involved, and what is next for Lutheran Mission - Australia. Learn more about Lutheran Mission - Australia at lutheranmissionaustralia.org.au and follow them online at facebook.com/LutheranMissionAustralia.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
