[Photo by eFlux Media]There's a crack in California's Crystal Cathedral.
Robert H. Schuller, 82, of the Reformed Church in America, started his ministry preaching in a drive-in theater. In 1970, he went on the air with the TV program, "Hour of Power. Ten years later, he founded the now famous Crystal Cathedral. Three years ago, Robert H. turned over "Hour of Power" to his son.
In October, he booted his son off "Hour of Power" due to a lack of "shared vision."
Robert A. Schuller, ze son, 39 years old, didn't want to let other preachers to have a turn at the pulpit. "It's MY pulpit, get outta here!
There are 25 preachers lined up awaiting a chance to preach.
So Bob the younger went off on to preach in Brazil. When he came back, Daddy said he could remain at the Crystal Cathedral, but he couldn't hog the pulpit on "Hour of Power."
Sonny said, no way. Robert A. Schuller resigned as "senior pastor at the Crystal Cathedral and plans to open his own ministry." He'll probably call it Bobby's Basillica.
Damn kids! They never do what you tell 'em. And then they get too big for their britches.
Methinks there's more to this story about which we shall never hear.

Wow, talk about major inaccuracies in the story! Rober A Schuller is 54, not 39. The younger schuller was never given an option to "share" the pulpit. Also, it wasn't Robert H who removed his son, but the board's Office of President, which does not include the elder schuller. There aren't "25" preachers lined up to preach. As of this story, there were 3 lioned up, and the balance unscheduled. Robert A never left to go to Brazil.
Yeah, there's probably more to the story (mostly involving other members of the Hour of Power's board who want the power for themselves instead of sharing it with Robert A Schuller). But I don't expect that story to be told here. You can't even tell the story to date accurately.
