]]> In a festive and joyful service at Salem parish near Piet Retief, Dr Sibongiseni Elliot Sithole was installed at new bishop of the Lutheran Church of Southern Africa (LCSA). Bishop Sithole joined the LTS faculty fulltime in January 2024. He will continue serving as lecturer of Old Testament studies. LTS was represented at the installation by rector Hiestermann, registrar Hanfato, Rev. Huf (who spoke a word of greeting in the name of the LCMS), and some students, who undertook the five hour drive from Pretoria to Salem. The LCSA is the majority shareholder of our seminary.

We are grateful that Bishop Sithole will continue teaching at our seminary, and we wish him the Lord’s richest blessings for his new role in the church!

In the service, LTS graduate Julias Khumalo, who graduated in November 2023, was ordained into the office of holy ministry. We also wish him the Lord’s blessing in serving the LCSA as pastor.

The church was packed
