The Reverend Peter S. Bredlau, College Chaplain, has resigned.

 Wednesday, July 13, 2011 09:58 AM

After an extended period of thought and reflection about his call to ordained ministry, and the vocation of his life and work, he has decided to pursue a career that utilizes his many considerable talents as coach, speaker, motivator, and organizer in the business world. 

Bredlau arrived at Muhlenberg on January 1, 2000, after serving a Lutheran congregation in Reading, Pa. During his time at Muhlenberg he has worked with Religious Life, the RJ Fellows honors program, the ice hockey team and on a number of other campus initiatives.  He has been an invaluable source of advice and guidance to the senior staff of the College.

Bredlau will continue to serve as the adjunct instructor for the RJ Fellows First Year and Senior Seminars for this year, and has agreed to remain in his current position as Chaplain for a reasonable amount of time to ensure a smooth transition.  In the weeks to come, President Randy Helm will consult with Bishop Zeiser, Trustees, and members of the campus community in an effort to define what Muhlenberg will be seeking in its next College Chaplain and to organize a search.
