Meditations and Musings 

Welcome to the meditations and musings of a chaplain in a Lutheran School

Big Qs Chapel Series

Moving to a larger school I have had the joy of being involved in leading more chapels each week. St Peters offers five chapels a week across differing years levels and with the majority of our students being in the secondary years we have a separate Senior School chapel for Years 11-12. So together with my colleague Kirstin Munchenberg, we can tailor our messages and content to more specific age ranges. This term in Senior Chapel we are specifically targetting our time around an apologetic series I've called "Big Questions". The questions we are focusing on in each chapel are:
  • Why is there so much suffering in the world?
  • What is the meaning of life/why are we here?
  • How can you take the Bible literally?
  • What happens after we die?
  • Can you apply Christian views to big issues?
  • Can’t we just be good without God?
  • Doesn’t religion cause violence?
  • Why Catholic and Lutheran?
  • Hasn’t Science disproved Christianity?
​The questions have been largely inspired by a book I have read together with the input of our prefects who are helping with these chapels. The book I would thoroughly recommend is "Confronting Christianity; 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion" by Rebecca McLaughlin. McLaughlin has also written a shortened volume for teenagers called "Ten Questions every Teen should ask (and answer) about Christianity". My prayer is that as students listen to this chapel series they are open to what they hear and are challenged to think more deeply about these big questions of life and faith.

    About this site

    "Meditations & Musings" is my humble attempt to share what I have found useful in ministry in an Australian Lutheran School setting. It contains chapels, devotions and other resources I have written, used and adapted in my K-12 school context. If you would like to also share your ideas, resources or start a conversation about mission and ministry in your church- school location, feel free to contact me.
    Blessings
