Schuller loses voting position at Crystal Cathedral

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — Crystal Cathedral founder Robert H. Schuller has been removed from a voting position on the board of the iconic glass megachurch he started in Southern California five decades ago. He is now honorary chairman of the board emeritus, according to a July 4 news release from the church in Garden Grove, Calif.

The Crystal Cathedral statement noted that the elder Schuller will continue to speak in the church’s pulpit and on its “Hour of Power” television broadcast and participate in “creative and vision-casting meetings” with staffers. The transition comes after the cathedral put its campus up for sale after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
