Faith is like a good rope. Even when stretched and strained, it does not tear in the storm.

Robert Cleaver Chapman

Robert Cleaver Chapman (1803–1902) war ein englischer Pastor, Evangelist und eine prägende Gestalt der frühen Brüderbewegung, der ab 1832 in Barnstaple wirkte. Bekannt als „Apostel der Liebe“, zeichnete er sich durch freiwillige persönliche Einfachheit, den Dienst an Bedürftigen und sein Eintreten für Offene Brüdergemeinden aus. Bibellesern gilt er heute als Beispiel dafür, theologische Prinzipien im Alltag mit praktischer Demut und gelebter Nächstenliebe zu verbinden.
