Comment from UTT:
It is interesting to see that Robert
Schuller Jr. was removed from the pulpit
by his father because his sermons have
been full of direct references to the
Bible. Pray for Robert Schuller Jr.
Pray that God would use him to be a bold
messenger for the gospel according to
the scriptures.
October 27 - Schullers' rift centers on 'Hour of
Power'
The elder
Schuller
announced
Saturday
that he was
removing his
son, the
Rev. Robert
A. Schuller,
as the
show's only
preacher
three years
after
turning the
program over
to him. The
show will
now be
hosted by
different
pastors,
and even
businessmen,
from around
the country
and Latin
America.
Schuller
built his
worldwide
ministry
over a half
century
on
the
psychology
of positive
thinking
and
appealing to
people
turned off
by the
formality of
traditional
faiths.
In contrast,
his son's
sermons have
been full of
direct
references
to the
Bible.
"We kept
talking to
board
members and
said we
ought to
have a
broader
audience,"
said Mysse,
who was
involved in
discussions
leading to
the change.
"This one
message from
one person
is just not
broad enough
right now."
Mysse said
the change,
discussed in
the last
year and
made during
the last few
weeks, has
strained the
relationship
of a father
and son who
once seemed
to be a
solid team.
"We're
trying to do
the best we
can and
bring about
a deeper
reconciliation,"
Mysse said.
Their
relationship
"is not
irreparable,
but it's
gone through
some
difficult
days."
Zenobia Coe
of Lake
Forest said
she
preferred
the young
Schuller's
Scripture-laden
sermons.
"But because
God called
me to this
church, I
intend to
keep coming
. . .
whatever the
church
decides."
