The Way of the Lutherans
Der Weg der Lutheraner
The Way of the Lutherans is a spiritual pilgrimage for principals, directors and senior leaders of Lutheran education. It focuses on the sites and stories of the early Lutheran migrants in South Australia as they established their churches and schools.
This spiritual pilgrimage traces the footsteps of the early Lutheran migrants in South Australia, visiting the sites where they established their first churches and schools.
Beginning at Pirltawardli, the first Australian Lutheran school for Indigenous children, and concluding at Gnadenberg Lutheran Church in the Barossa Valley, this 150km journey will take us through places of deep historical and spiritual significance.
As we walk, we will hear the stories of those who came before us—stories of courage, faith, and community.
The Way of the Lutherans follows not only the physical way of the early migrants, but invites us to reflect on the way we, too, can be adventurous, compassionate, purposeful, and relational in our own mission within Lutheran learning communities.
