Sharing Stories on the Ordination of Women in the LCANZ
This site is a meeting place for people to hear stories about women’s ordination in the Lutheran Church of Australia/New Zealand.
A place for the sharing of individuals’ personal journeys and dreams. A place for stories of melancholy, reflection, and aspiration.

“…but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

The quick and easy way to end disputes. . .or maybe not. One of the great pleasures in life for some of us is a good game of Scrabble or – my favourite – Upwords. A dear Aunty of mine and I are keen players, and the main house rule is about whether a word can be...
