Agape (ah-GAH-pey) means unselfish love of one person for another without sexual implications.
I remember when I was a first year college student in MSU my brother has asked me to visit a friend of his who was an English faculty in the University and the head of the Agape Church. She was nice so one day I attended their Bible sharing session at the golf-course. I didn't like the sharing thing. I mean, the words from the Bible which they have selected were worth listening to but I was just not into the "share-what-do-you-think-about-the-message" kind of part. So that meeting was the last for me at Agape Church.
Needless to say, their sect (Agape Church) means the love of Christians for another persons, corresponding to the love of God for humankind.
"Love of God for humankind"? Is that why there is so much suffering and violence in this world and he/she/they decided not to do anything about it? That's love? Nah...it's way beyond my rational thinking.
