Lancaster’s Blessings of Hope has well-documented connections to the New Apostolic Reformation and I guess @lancasteronline.bsky.social doesn’t find those connections relevant in an article that includes GOP elected officials.

ECC founder Barry Wissler later founded HarvestNet International, which is exactly that.
