History of the Lutheran Church of Australia

The history of the Lutheran Church of Australia is the sequence of events related to divisions, mergers and affiliations of Lutheran church organisations from the time Lutheranism first arrived in Australia, to the time of unification of the two main synods in 1966. == First Lutheran body in Australia (Kavel-Fritzsche Synod) == The first Lutherans to come to Australia in any significant number were Old Lutherans who refused to join the Prussian Union under King Frederick Wilhelm III and, sponsored by George Fife Angas, arrived in South Australia in 1838 with Pastor August Kavel and settled in Klemzig and Hahndorf.
