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."

Thought this might be interesting to some of you. I used to watch his Dad a lot back in the day. My mother was a huge fan of Robert H.

No puns about cracks in the crystal or stuff like, “Schuller to Schuller: Shoo! “, o.k.?

Ummmm.....well maybe just a few will be alright, but they have to be better than mine.

Maybe the younger Schuller wants to return to the Bible?

I bet the son wanted to be more like Joel Osteen? The father is too old-school to let that fly.

Perhaps he wanted to preach the Gospel?

Back in the day I remember watching Garner Ted Armstrong on TV. Quite charismatic and entertaining. I believe he also had a falling out with his father Herbert, a radio preacher. Sad when that happens.

Actually, these guys think the problem is the younger wants to rely on the gospel.. so my cynical position (though in jest) is probably incorrect. :)
