Great interview. I'm a Vineyard Boomer and I am leaning hard right now into signs, wonders, and miracles. Thank you for the encouragement. Come Holy Spirit!
Great to hear your memories and great balance Happy. I need to pause here to be on Zoom but will log back on later. I saw John as very balanced theologically and relationally. He promoted a Kingdom mentality of Holy Spirit balance Truth, Fruit, Gifts, and Power. Not all Truth, all Fruit, all Gifts, or all Power. It appealed to many of us than and now because balance is not easy to pull off. Most of us want to overemphasize our particular gift and call. You and Diane have that same balance.
I remember when this stuff first started. They tried to bring it to the church I was going to at the time and the pastor told them to hit the bricks. For me, I have always thought this type of activity was totally wrong and was not scriptural at all. Its amazing to me how so many still get involved in these matters.
It is sad that people get off. The charismatic movement has looked crazy sometimes. We need to know the Word and keep our first love for Jesus. Everyone has to be responsible for their own salvation and discern the good from the crazy.
True, Kenn was the founder of Vineyard but it existed as a sub-set of Calvary Chapel. When the separation occurred between Chuck Smith and Wimber, Kenn offered the Vineyard "Brand" as a point of identity for the New movement under Wimber's Oversight. So Vineyard as an independent movement was founded under Wimber's oversight (as I understand the history)

Question for both of you, what are your feelings about the mother church Anaheim Vineyard becoming independent from the Vineyard movement
Vineyard started in Santa monica NOT Anaheim hills been to both.

Kenn Gulliksen started the Vineyard not Wimber. I WAS there.
