Like all self-respecting millennials, the TheoBros have little tolerance for boomers,
with the exception of their patriarch, #Douglas #Wilson,
a 71-year-old pastor in Moscow, Idaho.
When he was younger, Wilson imagined himself going into the family business
—Christian bookstores
—but after a stint in the military, he moved to Moscow in 1975 to study philosophy at the University of Idaho,
where he became involved with the "Jesus People",
a kind of mashup of evangelical and hippie culture.
He helped found "Christ Church",
the congregation over which he still presides and that regularly draws crowds of 1,300.
Wilson has since turned the college town into his own Christian kingdom.
He helped found "New Saint Andrews College",
the "Canon Press" publishing house,
and "Logos School",
one of the nation’s first classical Christian schools,
where students exclusively study the Western canon.
Wilson embraced #Calvinism in 1988 and remade his church from the freewheeling "Jesus People" hub into something far more sober and buttoned-up,
where women couldn’t be church leaders and the only music allowed was hymns and psalms.
In the early 1990s, Wilson helped launch the "Association of Classical Christian Schools", which had 502 member institutions across the United States as of March 2023.
