LCC chaplains to receive new Canadian Armed Forces Devotional

CANADA – Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC)’s military chaplains will receive copies of the new Armed Forces Devotional Book Canadian Edition. 

The devotional was prepared for them in cooperation with Concordia Publishing House, under the guidance of LCC military chaplain, LCdr the Rev. David Jackson, Senior Fleet Chaplain serving the Royal Canadian Navy’s Atlantic Fleet.

Modelled after the US counterpart, this Canadianized devotional book begins with the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Apostles’ Creed. In addition to a variety of prayers, select Psalms, and Scripture lessons, the devotional includes hymns, a brief summary of the Christian Faith, the Order for Christian Burial, and the Order for Holy Baptism.

The cover features LCC’s Badge, artwork by LCC member, Harrison Avery Prozenko.

As part of Lutheran Church–Canada’s service in congregations and reaching out to others, LCC serves our nation by mandating Ordained Pastors to serve as chaplains for His Majesty’s Canadian Armed Forces. Whether at home in Garrisons, Dockyards, Wings and chapels or overseas in the field or in warships, the blessings of the Gospel are carried forth by our faithful Padres to men and women in uniform, and their families.

Chaplains of the Canadian Armed Forces serve both God and nation by bringing their unique gifts with which they are endowed by God, to the military personnel of our nation in the broad, challenging, diverse, and ever-changing environment of the Regular and Reserve forces of Army, Navy and Air Force. 

Lutheran Church–Canada is grateful to God for providing faithful chaplains to serve the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces; and we hope this new devotional book is a blessing to the faithful chaplains of our Synod.
