What happened to the son?
I remember reading that the son was more of a standard Christian— not the feel-good Christianity-lite. I think Dad didn’t like this. I can see why. It would be a rebuke to Dad’s philosophy, and he would likely take it personally. The Chrystal Cathedral has had some financial concerns over the last few years. Dad probably didn’t want to risk losing more by scaring away congregants with a more challenging call to faith.
