The Senior Pastor of Crystal Cathedral Said That She Was Going to Start a New Church

The Senior Pastor of Crystal Cathedral Said That She Was Going to Start a New Church: Crystal Cathedral senior pastor said Sunday it is going to start a new church, the move seems likely to divide the society.

"This last Sunday we go to pray in this building," Pastor Sheila Schuller Coleman said believers within 11 hours of emotional service at the church 10 000 Glass, designed by architect Philip Johnson.

Schuller Coleman announcement came a day after his parents, church founder Robert H. Schuller and his wife, Arvella Schuller resigns from Crystal Cathedral Board of Administration, which oversees the ministry of the brand "Hour of Power" broadcast. The future of the show and the Crystal Cathedral Ministry of bankruptcy remains uncertain.

Schuller Coleman said that she was leaving because of "controversial" in the relations of the family from the board. She drew attention to the recent firing of her sister and brother-in-law, Jim Penner, who served as executive producer of "Hour of Power" from 1999.

"My whole family has experienced a hostile environment of work," said Schuller Coleman, who was suspended as director general of the ministry in the past month.

After the surprise announcement at the pastor, the Rev. Bill Bennett is sure that members of the Assembly of Crystal Cathedral Ministry held services on Sunday.

"The parish, in principle, can remain where they want to stay," Bennett said later.

He said that the church will return to the Garden Grove, which he called a more "traditional" style of service, with hymns and music. It is unclear who will take over as senior pastor. The church was sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange in February to $ 57.5 million, and the Department has three years to find a new home.

He said the Crystal Cathedral ministry has nothing to do with the plans Schuller Coleman Center for the hope of Christ. In a video posted on the site of the new church, Schuller Coleman, sitting next to Penner said his church a place to be announced within the next two weeks.

Declaring Sunday immediately created a chasm between believers.

Mike Abbott, a mechanical engineer 47 years at Highland said that he will move to the Schuller Coleman.

"It's a shame to split the church like this," he said. "I think that is the birth of a new ministry."

But Shirley zinc in Yorba Linda said she was glad to see Schuller Coleman from the pulpit.

"We must do all realize that the Crystal Cathedral Ministries continue here," said Zink, 67. "I look forward to a traditional church service with the choir, musicians and a great message."

While Schuller Coleman said during the service that his decision was made to "the full support of my father and mother", the two will not officially participate in the new department, said Carol Schuller Milner, who serves as a gateway Speaking on behalf of the family.

Senior Schullers welcomed their daughter for her decision in a statement released Sunday afternoon.

"We will bless his religious activities, that we are all blessed by our children, but we will not be moving it to a new location, we are not ready at that time, to commit themselves to participate in the service at Crystal Cathedral," the statement said. "As we express ourselves in worship is in the air."

The pair face their conflicts with the Crystal Cathedral Ministries, resigned from the board after the failure of the negotiations on financial claims against the church. Schullers elderly, and Schuller Milner and her husband, Timothy, argue that the Church owes them money for copyright infringement, violations of intellectual property rights and contracts outstanding.

The creditors' committee opposed to requirements that have delayed the $ 12.5 million payment to a particular church lenders.

James Kirkland, a long time member of the fraternity, who organized an online blog on the Cathedral Crystal, said he was pleased with the decision to quit Schuller Coleman.

"This is the first step towards the restoration of the Crystal Cathedral and" Hour of Power "to its traditional roots," he said.
