Edwin Chappell is a Dallas pastor, retired, who came to ministry after a brief career in Chemical Engineering, served several different churches, two
six-year hitches in Denominational Leadership (Christian Education and Student Work), was twice elected to the Methodist governing body, and who
engaged in an unusual, varied group of interesting, adventuresome expressions of life in church circles, including folk dancing, fellowship song
leading, back packing, organizational development consulting, spiritual counseling, Journal Writing workshops, and even progressive relaxation
training. His life in ministry was varied, interesting, expanding, different, exciting, and rewarding. He touched the lives of many people deeply, and
led many to look seriously at living the Christian life with investment, verve and service to others. He is widely respected as a preacher of a
relevant gospel that touches the lives of moderns in meaningful, helpful ways.
He and his late wife, Stell Chappell, reared four sons, and are the proud grandparents of eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. His
involvement in the church was such that it took him three tries to get retirement right. He lives in Dallas, and still does Journal Workshops, preaches
when asked, teaches Sunday school occasionally, performs an occasional wedding, and conducts funeral services as needed. He pulled these sermons
together at the behest of many friends.view less
