RIP CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL (3) thru 2/2515

originally, this blog was going to be "frozen" in time with just the last two weeks on display in pictures & words, but I've decided to extend it...to keep it "current"..with any new news & information related to the original Crystal Cathedral & the Schullers, et al. IT is not for current news re the new owners, The Christ Cathedral (Catholic).

2/11/14 RIP,ARVELLA SCHULLER,84, (Thoughts&Prayers for Arvella's husband, Robert Schuller Sr, the founder of the Crystal Cathedral,for whom I still have much respect & admiration despite the way the CC fell apart in the end...perhaps not due to any fault of his own...& for all the Schullers regardless of how one analyzes the demise of the CC...my final feelings are sadness for the whole family even though they may actually be glad,in part,to have the CC off of their hands..it just became too much & too big for them to handle; yet a lot of people thought they were investing in something that would last "forever", that's the saddest part of it. Nonetheless,setting that aside we extend our condolences to the Schuller family & thank Arvella "for the memories" & the spiritual inspiration. She was from my tradition: the Dutch reformed church,..and from Iowa (where I myself was also born)...and I became somewhat part of the CC journey in 1984 when I was a senior in high school...; search:, robert h.

Fwd: 8/23/13 re MEMORIAL STONES @ CHRIST CATHEDRAL

15

8/23/13 re MEMORIAL STONES @ CHRIST CATHEDRAL,(I've been keeping an eye on the new Christ Cathedral & their progress on the arboretum rehab...which is not yet complete...hope for the best ! But also I recently heard they plan to remove the stones from the walk-of-life (see below) which is a shame given the promises made by Schuller that they would last for so much longer , but at the same time I found it sad that Schuller didn't take better safeguards about protecting the stones from the elements & foot traffic (a simple sheet of plexi-glass might have preserved them ) because many of them are seriously "faded" out, so if the catholics don't remove them, they would need to somehow restore them if they wanted to make the property look as "good as new" search:crystal cathedral,christ cathedral,memorial stones,arboretum,schuller,walk-of-life ,*read more at search: crystal cathedral,christ cathedral,walk of faith,schuller,*read more at http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/crystal-cathedral-memorial-stones-removed-20040355 "...A plan to remove memorial stones from the landmark Crystal Cathedral in Southern California is drawing opposition from donors...

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County announced plans last week to remove nearly 1,800 "Walk of Faith" stones surrounding the Garden Grove cathedral.

Cathedral founder Robert Schuller sold the diamondshaped granite memorials for up to $3,000 each, promising they'd remain for centuries...." http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/crystal-cathedral-memorial-stones-removed-20040355 "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."Ephesians 4:32,posted by vk *DefendRealMarriage("TraditionalMarriage") (DRuMTiMe) *ProtectUnbornLife (Adoption!)

PICS & VIDEO from CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL's PENULTIMATE (2nd-toLAST) SERVICE

see video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ox4qllh09E 39

Apparently this was supposed to be the FINAL Crystal Cathedral service but for some reason it was pushed back a week, so it became the penultimate service. This answers the question why the mostfrequent & beloved Crystal Cathedral guest singers, Tom Tipton & Nita Whitaker, sang at the penultimate service, not the final service. Above is a pic of pastor Jim Kok (left) with a member on the penultimate church bulletin.

Glenn Demaster has been serving the Crystal Cathedral as a pastor for some time now
