Crystal Cathedral pushes out founder Robert H. Schuller

The hits just keep coming at the Crystal Cathedral. It’s been a bad, bad year for the shriveling megachurch. But news that founder Robert H. Schuller has been pushed out might be the final straw for those who had continued to support the church.

He said his father wanted to enlarge the board, which was not received well by the others.

“A majority of that board consists of paid employees of the church and that’s a serious conflict of interest,” Robert A. Schuller said.
