RITCHIE<br \/>\n<em>THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saddleback Church is in talks with the Crystal Cathedral to buy a 20-acre property where the cathedral has operated a retreat for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>Saddleback Church, headed by Pastor Rick Warren, has been one of several parties interested in purchasing the Rancho Capistrano property nestled in the hills adjacent to the 5 Freeway in San Juan Capistrano, said John Charles, spokesman for the Crystal Cathedral.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have shown interest in it ever since that property went up for sale, which was two years ago,&#8221; Charles said. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t know if they have put in an offer or have even toured the property.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saddleback Church officials say they have been in discussions for 18 months. However, there is no news to report, said spokesman David Chrzan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No agreement has been reached or finalized,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Cathedral administrators announced earlier this month that they have started shutting down all operations at their 20-acre campus in Rancho Capistrano, closing a church, preschool, retreat area, soccer fields, camping grounds and a conference and wedding center. The megachurch&#8217;s continuing financial woes have led to the sale of various properties, employee layoffs and suspension of its &#8220;Glory of Easter&#8221; pageant this year.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/news\/cathedral-235027-church-retreat.html\">Click here to continue reading.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By DEEPA BHARATH and ERIKA&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,311],"tags":[51,258,35],"class_list":["post-3963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-purpose-driven-movement","category-saddleback","tag-purpose-driven-movement","tag-robert-schuler","tag-rick-warren","wpcat-52-id","wpcat-311-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
