Wimber Plays Down Toronto Rift

John Wimber tells audiences his relationship with John Arnott, leader of the Toronto Airport Vineyard church, is "better than ever".

By John Martin


John Wimber, in England for a series of Vineyard conferences, told his

audiences that his relationship with John Arnott, leader of the Toronto Airport Vineyard

church, is "better than ever". He tried to play down suggestions of a major schism between

Toronto and his Anaheim-based church network. There was "nothing new" about the phenomena

experienced at Toronto. "It's simply that we didn't want to have to answer for them," he

said. During his conference series Wimber's theme was the differences between renewal and

revival.
