The Rev. Robert A. Schuller, ousted in October as the preacher of the long-running Christian television program "Hour of Power," has resigned as senior pastor at the Crystal Cathedral and plans to open his own ministry.

Church founder Robert H. Schuller removed his son as the sole preacher on the 39-year-old television show after the younger Schuller, three years into the job, refused to rotate his role with other pastors, the church said.

1. They are still around?

I remember them from the 80's ... The "Crystal" chuch schtick was such a play on "look how god has blessed us" angle. How gaudy and unecessary...I guess these televangelists have a shelf life, too bad its 10 or 15 years, just enough to do damage.

3. OMG yes! Dad got arrested years ago for making a fuss on an airplane.

Still big players in the world of rich TV evangelists.

4. I'm really giving my age away here, but I remember vividly the Senior

Schuller preaching at a Drive-In movie atop the refreshment stand. Honest..... This was back in the 60s..
