Lonnie Frisbee (June 6, 1949 – March 12, 1993) was an American Pentecostal evangelist and self-described "seeing prophet" in the late 1960s and 1970s.〔 He maintained a hippie appearance and struggled with homosexuality (according to his own report).〔Annette Cloutier, ''Præy To God: A Tasteful Trip Through Faith: Volume One'', ISBN 1-4363-1555-7, ISBN 978-1-4363-1555-5, page 437.〕〔 He was notable as a minister and evangelist in the signs and wonders movement of the 1970s and 1980s.〔〔 Frisbee was a key figure in the Jesus movement and eyewitness accounts of his ministry documented in the 2007 Emmy-nominated film ''Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher'' explain how Frisbee became the charismatic spark igniting the rise of Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard Movement, two worldwide denominations and among the largest evangelical denominations to emerge in the last thirty years.〔〔Glen G. Scorgie, ''A Little Guide to Christian Spirituality: Three Dimensions of Life with God'', Chapter 8-"An Integrated Spirituality", Zondervan, 2009, ISBN 0-310-54000-3, ISBN 978-0-310-54000-7.〕 It was said that he was not one of the hippie preachers, "there was one."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOee1zkZis )〕 The term 'power evangelism' comes from Frisbee's ministry. Some of his harshest critics for heavy use of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit came from the churches he helped found.〔John Crowder, ''Miracle workers, reformers and the new mystics'', Destiny Image Publishers, 2006, ISBN 0-7684-2350-3, ISBN 978-0-7684-2350-1, pages 103-6.〕 He also influenced many prophetic evangelists including Jonathan Land, Marc Dupont, Jill Austin and others.〔 Frisbee co-founded the House of Miracles commune and was its main architect, converting many. The House of Miracles grew into a series of nineteen communal houses that later migrated to Oregon to form Shiloh Youth Revival Centers, the largest and one of the longest-lasting of the Jesus People communal groups. Frisbee functioned both as an evangelical preacher also privately socialized as a gay man before and during his evangelism career.〔 This is held in tension with the fact that he said in interviews that he never believed homosexuality was anything other than a sin in the eyes of God and both denominations prohibited gay sexual behavior. Both churches later disowned him because of his active sexual life, removing him first from leadership positions, then ultimately, firing him.〔 He was shunned and "written out of the official histories."〔Brett McCracken, ''Hipster Christianity: When Church and Cool Collide'', Baker Books, 2010, ISBN 0-8010-7222-0, ISBN 978-0-8010-7222-2 page 80-1.〕 As part of his ostracism from his former churches his work was maligned but he forgave those who tried to discredit him before his death from AIDS in 1993. ==Early life and career== Frisbee was raised in a single-parent home and was exposed to "sketchy, dangerous characters" as a child.〔〔 Frisbee's brother claimed Frisbee was raped at the age of eight and documentarian David di Sabatino postulated that an incident of that nature "fragments your identity."〔 His father ran off with another woman and his mother tracked down and married the jilted husband.〔 He showed great interest in the arts and cooking.〔 He won awards for his paintings and even appeared as a featured dancer on ''Shebang''.〔 He exhibited a "bohemian" streak and regularly ran away from home.〔 As a teen he became part of the drug culture, as part of a spiritual quest,〔 and at fifteen he entered Laguna Beach's gay underground scene with a friend.〔〔 His "spotty" high school education left him barely able to read and write.〔 At 18 he joined thousands of other flower children and hippies for the Summer of Love in San Francisco in 1967.〔Don Lattin, ''Jesus Freaks: A True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge'', HarperCollins, 2008, ISBN 0-06-111806-0, ISBN 978-0-06-111806-7, pages 31-3.〕 He described himself as a "nudist-vegetarian-hippie".〔 Frisbee's unofficial evangelism career began as a part of a soul-searching LSD acid-trip as part of a regular "turn on, tune in, drop out" session of getting high.〔 He would often read the Bible while tripping.〔 On one pilgrimage with friends to Tahquitz Canyon outside Palm Springs instead of looking for meaning again in mysticism and the occult Frisbee started reading the Gospel of John to the group and eventually led the group to Tahquitz Falls and baptized them.〔 A later acid-trip in the same area produced "a vision of a vast sea of people crying out to the Lord for salvation, with Frisbee in front preaching the gospel."〔 His "grand vision of spreading Christianity to the masses" alienated his family and friends.〔David W. Stowe, ''No Sympathy for the Devil: Christian Pop Music and the Transformation of American Evangelicalism'', UNC Press Books, 2011, ISBN 0-8078-3458-0, ISBN 978-0-8078-3458-9, page 23-9.〕 Frisbee left for San Francisco where he had won a fellowship to the San Francisco Art Academy.〔 He soon met members of Haight-Ashbury's Living Room mission. At the time, he talked about UFOs and practiced hypnotism and spoke about dabbling in occult and mysticism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvHSP3kT16A )〕 When Christian missionaries first met him, they said he was talking about "Jesus and flying saucers". Frisbee converted to Christianity, and joined the first street Christian community, The Living Room, a storefront coffeehouse commune of four couples in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco started in 1967.〔〔Stephen J. Nichols. ''Jesus Made in America: A Cultural History from the Puritans to the Passion of the Christ'', InterVarsity Press, 2008, ISBN 0-8308-2849-4, ISBN 978-0-8308-2849-4, pages 124-5.〕 He quit the art academy and moved to Novato, California to set up a commune and later reconnected with his former girlfriend Connie whom he then married. The community was soon dubbed The House of Acts after the community of early Christians in the Acts of the Apostles. Frisbee designed a sign to put outside the house, but was informed that if he gave it an official name, it would no longer be considered a mere guest house and would be subject to renovations. The community took the sign down to avoid the financial obligation. Frisbee continued painting detailed oils including of missions.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lonnie Frisbee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
