Ranges Community Church

Friend and fellow blogger in the USA Steve Hamilton has written and interesting article of what I would describe as some distinctive of the Vineyard and the consequences of these distinctives.

….all of this has lead me to the conclusion that the vineyard was one of the primary illegitimate fathers (one of several) of the emerging church (illegitimate in that most do not want to claim the child that is the emerging church)…but the vineyard forged the context of freedom for the emerging church to…well…emerge (i am sointrigued that what i hear from leaders like brian mclaren is taking what we think of traditionally in the vineyard as the ministry of the good news of the kingdom of God and applying that to new places, riding up against that fault-line of the gospel and culture)…all as a result of the inbreaking of the kingdom of God…it’s all about Him!
