How We Work

The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Milestone meeting for almost 50 year dialogue

The Australian Lutheran – Roman Catholic dialogues recently held its 200th meeting in Adelaide, South Australia. A dinner was held at the residence of Adelaide’s Catholic Archbishop Patrick O’Regan to mark the occasion.

 “Full communion between our churches … remains a hope”, said Rev Dr Stephen Hultgren, the dialogue’s Lutheran co-chair.

It is also interesting to note that similar dialogues exist between the Lutheran Church and the Uniting Church, and with the Anglican Church.
