The Rev.According to the Orange County Register, Robert H. Schuller was ousted from Crystal Cathedral Ministries.
According to the paper, the board of the Crystal Ministries voted to remove the man who started his ministry in a drive-in theater more than 50 years ago.
The son says his father wanted to enlarge the board, a move that did not sit well with others.
The church's financial troubles, including a significant drop in donations and dwindling membership, culminated in its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.Many of the vendors for the cathedral's "Glory of Christmas" pageant are still owed money by the church.According to a reorganization plan filed by the church last month, they have an offer from Irvine, Calif.-based Greenlaw Partners to buy the core buildings for $46 million.
Robert H. Schuller and his daughters have been at odds over how the church should be run.Many long-time members of the cathedral were displeased with the switch from a traditional worship format to a Gospel-style choir.Choir members were required to sign a covenant acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and the belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Everyone is welcome in the church according to the older Schuller.The architect who built the cathedral's glass sanctuary was an openly gay man.
