"Although Chapman wanted no one to revere him, his love touched so many people that fame became his legacy. Charles Spurgeon called him "the saintliest man I ever knew". By the end of his life, Chapman was known worldwide for his love, wisdom and compassion. He had become 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!"
You may be wondering why you have not heard a lot about R.C. Chapman or have never heard of him at all. Because Chapman wanted people to dwell on their Savior, not on his life, he purposely destroyed almost all of the letters he had received. Because of this far less is known and written about him than about many of his contemporaries, men like Hudson Taylor, J.N. Darby and George Mueller.
