LTRP Note:<\/strong> The following news report by the L.A. Times <\/em>regarding Crystal Cathedral and Robert Schuller is being posted at Lighthouse Trails because of our articles regarding Schuller’s Rethink Conferences and the co-mingling of popular Christian figures such as Kay Warren, Erwin McManus, Ravi Zacharias and several other evangelical leaders with Robert Schuller (see links below).<\/p>\n

“Rev. Robert H. Schuller ousts his son as ‘Hour of Power’ preacher”
\nBy Sam Quinones
\nL.A. Times staff writer<\/em><\/p>\n

The Rev. Robert H. Schuller removed his son Saturday as preacher on the syndicated “Hour of Power” television show less than three years after handing over to him the ministry he began more than 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

Schuller announced the removal of his son, Robert A. Schuller, in a statement read to some 450 Crystal Cathedral congregants by Jim Coleman, the church’s president.<\/p>\n

“It is no secret to any of you that my son, Robert, and I have been struggling as we each have different ideas as to the direction and the vision for this ministry,” his statement read.<\/p>\n

“For this lack of shared vision and the jeopardy in which this is placing this entire ministry, it has become necessary for Robert and me to part ways.”<\/p>\n

Schuller said he was bringing in several guest pastors from around the country to preach during the show, which has been cut to half an hour in some markets since summer. Click here to read this entire news article.<\/a><\/p>\n
