About Brother Larry

My name is Larry Chitwood. I am a United Methodist Pastor, a lucky Husband, a proud Grandfather, an Anti-Racist, and an advocate for peace and justice for all people. I serve a Church in suburban Memphis, Tennessee and I lean into an Alternative Orthodoxy in the tradition John Wesley - meaning that I believe the church is always growing, always learning, and always changing.

I am happy to share my research and collection of John Wesley's writings which support my understanding of Wesley's Alternative Orthodoxy with anyone interested.
