The Anaheim Vineyard did not leave the Vineyard. The Scott’s decided 2 dissociate with their team, some people, a 501C3, a building & a bunch of financial assets. The Anaheim Vineyard Community is now rediscovering who they r 4the next leg of our journey together. Step by step.

A bit of an update on what has transpired in my FB world regarding my post from yesterday. facebook.com/10000152989639…

Oh man - this is a bit of a chew. Certainly "too long" for this Twitter enviro, but hey I'd thought I'd pop it up here anyway. Just some more musings from an old dog as we're all navigating some pretty interesting shaking in pretty much every area of life and faith. Step by step.

Some more thoughts.

2b clear, my recent posting has not been 4the purpose of endorsing any particular reemergence of the Anaheim Vineyard. That must be done carefully, circumspectly &in consultation with Vineyard USA. My concern was more 4peeps disenfranchised. Hard to put it all in a tweet :)

God did not abolish darkness at creation. God added light. But 4many, darkness symbolizes all that is negative, harmful, evil &fearful. God gave equal importance &prominence 2darkness &light, &all life … begins &develops in the dark.” Ken Cadette facebook.com/10000152989639…

It seems 2me that when we pray 4the will of heaven 2b demonstrated on earth, we must acknowledge that transformation &the true metanoia work of repentance & justice is central 2the answer received. Jesus is making all things new. A new Heaven &a new Earth. Let the kingdom come.

the classic hymn "The Churches One Foundation is Jesus Christ Her Lord" keeps running through my mind and heart these days. How much have we built that has been the Church in name only convincing ourselves that the sinking sand of a reductionist soteriology was the Way of Jesus?

Another quote from the deep cuts of hymnody "The Churches One Foundation" as penned in 1866. Comes from verse three, as true now as then: "Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore" Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus.

Just sayin’. Can’t wait to come together. If you feel a sense of curiosity and connection regarding who we are in Vineyard Canada, join us. Let’s discover more about Jesus and His Way together. You’re invited. eventbrite.ca/e/just-jesus-v…

Popped up on my “FB memory” today. These seismic shifts take a lot longer than we like to be sure. Lean into the moment. Lean into the Metanoia. Lean into the chest of Jesus. Breath by breath. Step by step.

You led in a different way. You spoke truth with presence and love. You were ridiculed by those who only know worldly power, many of them Christians. Your life has left a mark that far supersedes what the US government could ever do. Well done thou good and faithful servant.

Privilege is when you think something is not a problem because you are not affected by it. Privilege is also when you think you are the solution of a problem, even though others are more educated and experienced at solving it. Privilege is about centering yourself, above all.

Not a moment of musical precision and perfection per se, but pretty dang heartfelt and feeling quite honoured and humbled to be invited to share with our Vineyard family (and whomever else may pipe in) in this space. Just passing it along. youtu.be/AwR05V6a13E?si…
