Tuesday Afternoon Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote

We will meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. from Jan. 21 to Mar. 4. There will be seven sessions, and we will read one to two chapters weekly. If the group decides to read the book faster, we can do that, too.

This book came to us from the UMC bishop, Bishop Bickerton, who sent two books to all clergy in New England for Christmas (the other book is Christlikeness—Loving as Jesus Loved, also by Chilcote). While the books may engage in a bit more Methodism than we are used to, they are focused on meaningful and important topics for all Christians, regardless of denomination.  (99 pages)

Multiplying Love can be purchased online at Amazon for $13.49 here: Amazon Link to Purchase

Thoughts and Summary of Multiplying Love - Our world needs love during these desperate days of radical polarization and division. Our United Methodist churches yearn to embrace love more completely because God first loved us. Our “faith” (including doctrine) is important; Christian “hope” (including renewal) is important; “love” of God and neighbor is more important. Multiplying Love underscores what matters most and contrasts divisive misreadings of essential Methodist teachings. Chilcote helps us embrace anew the Wesleyan vision of the love of Jesus as central to what we believe and how we live.

When I finished Multiplying Love, I found myself jumping up and down shouting, “Yes, yes, yes! Gosh, do we need this!” We are at a remaking moment in the church. Dr. Chilcote beautifully articulates the deeper theological vision that beckons and sustains us. Multiplying Love helped me more thoroughly embrace the kind of loving people we are hoping to become. That’s what it’s all about to me, and this book nails it!
—Rev. Christy Allen Holden, co-creator of The Channel UMC, a new hybrid community of faith (@christyallenholden)
Every United Methodist pastor would do well to invite their church council to read Paul Chilcote’s brief and powerful Multiplying Love. This book recalls the power of the Wesleyan approach to the gospel and makes a compelling case for the future of the United Methodist Church. I loved it!
—Rev. Adam Hamilton, Kansas pastor and author of Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith
