Religion in Canada is hosting David Di Sabatino for a showing of his film “Lonnie Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher.” Despite the stories of spiritual prowess that surround his life, his enduring struggles overwhelmed him. And even though he was the charismatic sparkplug igniting the rise of two worldwide denominations (Calvary Chapel & Vineyard), his name has all but been removed from their histories.
