Crystal Cathedral founder Rev. Robert H. Schuller has removed his son as preacher on the church's weekly "Hour of Power" syndicated TV broadcast.
Schuller said in a statement read to some 450 congregants Saturday by church president Jim Coleman that he and his son, Robert A. Schuller, "have different ideas as to the direction and the vision for this ministry."
"For this lack of shared vision and the jeopardy in which this is placing this entire ministry, it has become necessary for Robert and me to part ways," Schuller said.

Doesn’t God tell us to forgive?
HAHAHA Utterly fascinating. Thanks!
You mean they shouldn’t stow thrones?
You said — “Actually, these guys think the problem is the younger wants to rely on the gospel..”
I think that may be it. The elder Schuller was hard to take with his fake-frozen smile (looked like it was cast in cement... LOL) and with his lack of the Gospel words from the Bible. Perhaps, indeed, Schuller’s son was “too Biblical” for the father... :-)
Yeah. One commenter said that, in this case, it’s a good thing that the apple fell far from the tree.
By returning to teaching God's word - straight from the Bible - it would upset the "warm fuzzy Christians". Upset the "warm fuzzy Chrisians" and the $$ coming in drops. Need I say more?
The elder Schuller promotes New Age teachings:

Son was not preaching his father’s “inclusive” gospel, and strayed over to that ugly Bible stuff.
“”Maybe the younger Schuller wants to return to the Bible?””
My first thought!! Parted ways with his son - kind of a strange way to put it.
I thought the daddy had Alzheimers and had to be subdued on an airplane a few years ago.
“”I bet the son wanted to be more like Joel Osteen? The father is too old-school to let that fly.””
Osteen is not that much different from the elder Schuller so I doubt it.
I don’t usually watch, but the few times I have seen the show his son actually mentioned Jesus! That was probably the problem. Does anybody else remember the father starting out with services in a drive-in theater on Sunday morning?
“”Upset the “warm fuzzy Chrisians” and the $$ coming in drops. Need I say more?””
Nope. Moved to Georgia from southern CA 2 years ago and what a blessing to find churches and pastors who aren’t afraid to use the Bible as their sole tool in sermons.
He’s always been a loonie.
I don’t know why but the first time I saw the son, he kind of reminded me of Al Gore.
Don’t flame me, please.
Osteen is a Robert Schuller disciple; has that same aversion to Christ's "I am the Way"
Discussed further HERE.
Interesting, interesting, interesting.
I saw rumor recently that Schuller, Jr. claimed to be reformed.
THe plastic frozen smile....you know, I always thought he looked like Jack Nicholson’s version of The Joker..wish I had a picture of both.
