Younger Schuller resigns from Crystal Cathedral

s senior pastor of the Crystal Cathedral in Southern California after his father, Robert H. Schuller, said his son would no longer be the sole preacher on the church’s “Hour of Power” television program.

In October, the elder Schuller said differences between the two men over the “direction and the vision” of the megachurch and its related television broadcast had led them to “part ways.” At that time, the younger Schuller remained as the church’s senior pastor while the elder Schuller hosted the broadcast and invited a range of guest speakers to the pulpit.

A statement on Crystal Cathedral’s Web site says its executive team has accepted the younger Schuller’s resignation and he remains a member of the Reformed Church in America, the denomination with which the church is affiliated.
