	Lonnie Frisbee
		Lonnie Frisbee was a "hippie" evangelist in the 1960s.
		Frisbee was abused and molested as a child, and kept this pain inside of himself for the rest of his life and it led to sexual confusion and homosexual dalliances in his non-Christian and possibly Christian life.
		Lonnie's unkempt appearance (he greatly resembled the standard portraits of Jesus - a frail man with long hair and a beard) helped appeal the youth culture to his message, and Lonnie believed that the youth culture would play a prominent role in God's movement in the United States.

	Frisbee - Arts and Faith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Lonnie Frisbee documentary project seeks to document the life and ministry of the "hippie preacher" who came to prominence during a Christian revival known as the "Jesus movement" and was the catalyst of both the Calvary Chapel and Vineyard church movements as well as spiritual outpourings in Scandinavia and South Africa.
		Lonnie Frisbee is so integral to the histories of both the Calvary Chapel and Vineyard church movements that it would not be an exaggeration to suggest that none of us would have ever heard of pastor Chuck Smith or "signs and wonders" teacher John Wimber had it not been for Lonnie's influence.
		Lonnie Frisbee was very much like Robert Duvall's character in the movie The Apostle, a man who had the power to inspire others through to a dramatic God encounter, but one whose personal struggles ultimately got the best of him.

		FRISBEE: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A HIPPIE PREACHER recounts the work of Lonnie Frisbee, the searching hippie turned hippie preacher who's career in ministry is situated strategically at the beginning of the expansion of two of America's largest Christian Churches: The Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard Ministry.
		After a number of career injuries, Frisbee confessed to engagement in homosexual activities, and what followed was a renunciation from the church and a subsequent revision of the biographies of the church leaders involved with him.
		Repeatedly Frisbee's friends and colleagues explain that he should be forgiven, that he was molested as a child and that his degeneracy was not his fault.

		Lonnie Frisbee, one of the first Jesus Freaks and a major sparkplug behind the tremendous growth of Calvary Chapel in the early 70s and the Vineyard Movement in the 80s, struggled with homosexuality and eventually died of AIDS.
		Lonnie Frisbee's name was all over the place, and suddenly I had a memory of seeing him speak at The Denver Vineyard (what is now Crossroads Church of Denver, Tom Stipe, senior pastor), when I was 15 years old (1991).

		Lonnie Frisbee entered religious life not long after Mychal Judge was ordained, but he came to his calling by a much more winding path.
		One man said that Frisbee restored his sight, and several of Di Sabatino's subjects recall being in church the day Frisbee walked in and caused a whole section of the congregation to fall to the ground, writhing with the power of the Holy Spirit.
		Frisbee alludes only vaguely to its subject's "sin" until the movie's closing chapter, and although Di Sabatino will occasionally slip up and refer to Frisbee as "gay" or "homosexual," he most often uses words like "acts" or "lifestyle," terms that evangelicals use to distinguish the sinner from the sin.

		Lonnie’s ministry was influential in the foundation of two of evangelicalism’s biggest denominations.
		Sadly, Lonnie died from AIDS in 1993, but I wonder what would have been the outcome if Lonnie had been able to embrace his sexuality and be accepted in the evangelical movement for what he was, without feeling like he had to live two separate lives.
		Lonnie demonstrated the way, the truth, and the life and if Satan found a vulnerable spot and Lonnie died of it he didn’t die forever.

	radicalhumanist / Frisbee
		Lonnie Frisbee achieved notoriety in the early Seventies as a major player in the Jesus Movement, in which counterculture kids were attracted to a less rigorous Christianity, emphasising love while minimising constriction.
		When the movie shifts to deal with Frisbee being squeezed out of the Vineyard after it was revealed he had been in a gay relationship, although it does smack of trying to force a thesis, that thesis stands: this major figure in the development of these churches has been whitewashed out of their history books.
		Frisbee, for his part, seems from the archival footage to be a likable, charismatic innocent, joyful at being saved and wanting to pass this feeling on.

	KQED \| Public TV: Truly CA: Home: Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher
		Though he only stayed there for four years, from 1968 to 1971, Lonnie Frisbee was the charismatic sparkplug that launched the "little country church" into a worldwide ministry, and propelled some of its then fledgling leaders into some of the most powerful movers and shakers of the evangelical movement.
		During the 1980s, Lonnie was at the center of the "signs and wonders" movement, one that focused on reviving the practice of spiritual power through divine healing, speaking in tongues and other demonstrative manners of manifesting the power of God.
		Beside the dynamic influence that Frisbee had over the lives of countless individuals, and beyond the miraculous stories that swirl in the wake of his life, what makes the story most fascinating is that God called Lonnie Frisbee while he was deeply involved in the homosexual lifestyle in Laguna Beach, California.

	Welcome to Ethics Daily.com!
		Born in 1949, Frisbee left home at the age of 15 and was soon immersed in the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
		When Frisbee first began giving his testimony at Calvary Chapel in the late 1960s, he was very open about the fact that he had been a dope-smoking, acid-dropping, free-loving hippie before he became a Christian.
		"Frisbee" raises the stakes in this debate because the subject of this documentary was not only reported to have been involved in homosexual activity, he was also reported to have performed miracles.

	Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher
		Lonnie Frisbee was still just a teen when, he claimed, God appeared to him in a vision and told him he would bring many people to Christ.
		Di Sabatino is emphatic that Lonnie not be turned into a poster boy for gay Christians -- but he insists on facing this aspect of Lonnie's life honestly, the same way the Bible describes the adultery and murder committed by King David, or the sins committed by Samson.
		If anything, those who believe homosexuality is the result of a dysfunctional upbringing will find their beliefs confirmed when the film reveals that Lonnie's father abandoned the family early on, and that a babysitter may have molested him when he was only eight years old.

	Reviews by Darrel Manson: Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher
		Frisbee discovered God and was called to ministry while on LSD.
		It's not that it is a story taken from the Bible, but he sees in Frisbee a lot of biblical characters (such as John the Baptist or Samson) and imagery (such as prophecy and healing).
		One of the things that struck me (coming from a denomination that has openly gay clergy) is that in the film's discussion of attitudes after he is booted from his ministry at The Vineyard, one of the people says that churches wanted his anointing, but not him.

	TallSkinnyKiwi: Lonnie Frisbee and Ted Haggard
		David Di Sabatino, creator of the movie "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher" reminds me in an email this morning of Lonnie Frisbee, key prophetic figure of the Jesus Movement - who gave his life to Jesus while high on LSD and died of Aids in 1993.
		I spent quite a bit of time of time reading about lonnie, watching some of the videos that are on line, including his memorial service, and remembering some of the initial Jesus music that my siblings listened to, and the impact that had on my spiritual development.
		FYI, Lonnie is buried at the Crystal Cathedral and thousands came to pay their respects at his funeral which packed out the Cathedral.
