Crystal Cathedral Founder Dead at 88

The Rev. Robert H. Schuller died Thursday morning after a two-year battle with esophageal cancer, according to his daughter. Schuller founded Crystal Cathedral Ministries in 1955, only to sever ties with it in 2010 over the “negative and adversarial atmosphere” that developed under another daughter’s leadership. The Crystal Cathedral was subsequently sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange in California in 2012.
