Schuller, founder of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, has announced that he removed his son, Robert A., from his preaching duties on the church&#8217;s weekly &#8220;Hour of Power&#8221; syndicated TV broadcast. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crystalcathedral.org\/events_news\/media\/press_releases\/press_102608.php\" target=\"_blank\">In a letter on the Crystal Cathedral website, <\/a>the elder Rev. Schuller explains that he and his son &#8220;have been struggling as we each have different ideas as to the direction and the vision for this ministry as we move into the future.&#8221; As the lack of a unified vision has grown, Schuller felt it necessary to ask his son to step down.Citing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ephesians%204:3-5;&#038;version=31;\" target=\"_blank\">Ephesians 4<\/a>, Schuller says that he plans to have guest pastors from other large ministries &#8211; including Bill Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church, Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church, and evangelist Juan Carlos Ortiz, credited for influencing the revivals currently sweeping Latin America. Walt Kallestad of Community Church of Joy in Glendale, Arizona is scheduled to preach this Sunday.The &#8220;Hour of Power&#8221; weekly television broadcast has played host to Christian music artists like Matthew West, Laura Story (featured in the above video with Rev. Robert A Schuller) and Phil Stacey, giving them an opportunity to share their testimonies as well as their music with a large television audience.For more about the Hour of Power, and to read transcripts of artist interviews, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crystalcathedral.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Cathedral website.<\/a><em>Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/12\/christian-music-year-in-review.html\" target=\"_blank\">Joanne Brokaw&#8217;s &#8220;Christian Music Year In Review,&#8221;<\/a> a look back at the stories you were talking about on the Gospel Soundcheck blog.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reverend Robert H.
