Shular's Church Files For Bankruptcy
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. -- Crystal Cathedral, the megachurch birthplace of the televangelist show "Hour of Power," filed for bankruptcy Monday in Southern California after struggling to emerge from debt that exceeds $43 million.

Well, so much for "the power of positive thinking" and "the prosperity gospel."

no, not like some in the "name it and claim it" camp.
I guess it was more of the power of positive thinking thing.

Nope, certainly no prosperity gospel. And...no "Power of positive thinking", either. It's "Possibility Thinking."

Things have been rough since two things....since Schluer's son was ousted and since the economy went in the tank. Schuler's daughter is now the senior pastor and honestly, the program is tough to watch now. It's obvious she has some charismatic leanings and it just doesn't jive with the culture of the glass cathedral.

I've long admired the senior Schuler. Take a look at the "Possibility Thinker's Creed":

When faced with a mountain,
I WILL NOT QUIT!

I will keep on striving
until
I climb over,
find a pass through,
tunnel underneath,

or

simply stay
and
turn the mountain
into a gold mine
with
God's help!!

43 million debt

I see they have not been sending out missionaries. No cash flow.

Yep they did a non biblical Creation narrative.

Fairy tale for adults.

It appears their Easter and christmas productions were extravagant.
