We are known as a people of the "radical middle."

Here's an AI overview response to the Googled question, "why is the Vineyard called the radical middle?"

"The term "radical middle" is used to describe the Vineyard movement, a neo-charismatic evangelical Christian group, because it embraces both-and perspectives and seeks to balance tensions between different theological and spiritual traditions. Essentially, it's about finding a balance between various aspects of Christian belief and practice, like evangelical focus on the Word and charismatic emphasis on spiritual gifts."
"Both - And".
A tightrope if you will, resisting the slack of compromise, held taut by embracing kingdom values that are not of this world while honestly - vulnerably - facing the realities of living here. Tension. In the world - not of the world. Suffering and Shalom. The kingdom come and coming. An eternal path that traverses a temporal plane. The first are last. The last are first. Beauty. Ashes. Mourning. Dancing. Cross. Resurrection.
All held together not only by, but in, Jesus - the Way, the Truth and the Life that He is.
This middle ground is quite challenging to hold on to in an age of unprecedented polarization. Many are reaching for assurance that someone, or something will somehow release us from this tension and make it all "great again" as if some perceived Utopian past is what our preferred future needs to become. We can start sounding like the Israelites of old, weary of trudging along the path to the Promised Land. "Let's pick a new leader," they said to each other, "let's head back to Egypt" (Numbers 14:4)
Yet Jesus says keep the faith. Stay radical. Stay true.
The cross and the power of resurrection enables us to continue life's journey with vulnerability, honesty and hope. We can courageously face life head on while still reaching for something eternal as Jesus makes all things new. And yes, embarking on a journey of this type of faith will often find us walking in, well, the "radical middle.".
Let's not give up the quest.
