Was Peale the power of positive thinking guy?
Anyway, this is not surprising, but it should be a complete embarrassment. This won’t bother Democraps, but it will bother Republican voters, and this will get out through social media.
The reference to Peale is real but has symbolic resonance: the Marble Collegiate Church, where he preached for almost 50 years, was originally a firmly Calvinist Dutch Reformed Church.
Peale took it from a 500 person "Sinners in the hands of an angry God" congregation to a 5,000+ crowd "If you can dream it, you can do it!" social phenomenon.
