#1 - Who, why, and what are the Vineyardists?

So grateful for the honest conversation about Wimber. Really good. Could just take your points about doing church, kingdom of God, worship, everyone gets to play, always learning, etc. and teach classes or write articles that would help so many in and out of Vineyard churches know the legacy and carry it on. Shout out Luke &amp; Ramon!

Yes.

Brilliant biblical theologians and probably the best fly fisherman in the universe (at least that Doug and Luke).
