The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) is committed to providing a safe church environment for children and young people. The LCA acknowledges that children are a precious gift from God, with special vulnerabilities, that they require nourishment and nurture in their spiritual development and that they are to be protected from all forms of abuse. The LCA also affirms that it has no tolerance for child abuse and that all its people have an important responsibility to care for children and to keep them safe. The way we care for children reflects our genuineness of faith. It is also a reflection of God’s love and his divine protection.

🆘Nepal flood disaster: support needed
Severe flooding in Nepal has caused widespread devastation, with early reports indicating that more than 150 people have lost their lives and hundreds remain missing.
ALWS has been in contact with its Lutheran partners in Nepal, including The Lutheran World Federation (LWF). A safety assessment has confirmed that staff from Lutheran organisations working in the region are safe and accounted for.
LWF teams are now developing an emergency response plan and assessing the impact on affected communities. Based on previous disaster responses in Nepal, anticipated needs include emergency shelter, food supplies, safe water, sanitation and other essential items.
As a church, we pray for all those affected by this disaster, for those still unaccounted for, and for emergency workers and aid agencies responding to the crisis.
How you can help:
Donations to the ALWS Emergency Fund enable rapid assistance when disasters strike and help Lutheran partners provide support where it's most needed.
