I was called to be a chaplain in a Lutheran School 12 years ago, and have been speaking God's word into the lives of thousands of young people regularly since then. After yet another Synod vote to maintain the current church practice of men-only ordination, I have decided to move some of my regular devotional activity towards writing the sermons I would have preached had I been called to preach them. Until the Lutheran Church in Australia sees its way through this ordination issue, these sermons sit in silence and go unheard.
