By the end of his life, Chapman was known worldwide for his love, wisdom and compassion.
He became so well known in England that a letter from abroad addressed only to “R. C. Chapman, University of Love, England” was correctly delivered to him! In Agape Leadership, you will see godly, pastoral leadership in action through these biographical snapshots from Chapman’s life.
