I WAS VERY GLAD TO KNOW THAT THE CATHEDRAL WAS RESPECTED AS A PLACE AND A HOUSE OF PRAYER... TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE DIFERENCES THERE IS ALSO THAT IS COMMON: LOVE TO GOD, TO PRAYER AND TO THE WORD OF GOD.
I can't imagine what is going through the minds of many people within this congregation. No matter how it is presented, it has to be very hard to lose such a beautiful place of worship. I am thankful it will continue as a church and as a Catholic, I plan to visit someday. I really hope there is an effort by the Catholic Diocese to reach out to the members of this congregation somehow.
We have not forgotten, and we never will. Thank you for the millions of souls saved by those at the Hour of power.
Including me the ministry saved me during my teen years from 2003-2010
Blessings on Bobby and his family, if his grandfather were here I'd hug him to thank him for the continuous positive messages through the years of my life.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN LETS HAVE A BIG HAND FOR THE HOUR OF POWER TEAM...LETS HEAR IT FOR THEM.
They are like no other. I will always be a Schuller girl they are the best. Amazing job, Robert A. and Bobby were well taught.
I always watched Sunday mornings as I dressed to go to my own church.
So sad to see the end of an era. Dr. Schuller was so full of life and gave a lot of hurting people new hope through his preaching from the Word. People who were at the end of their rope would turn this program on and have their lives literally saved by the Hour of Power.
Thank you for the kind words. There are many evil people here.
I used to be in the children choir when I was younger
At least you're not judgemental. Oh wait. Dr. Schuller was a fine preacher/salesman.....THE BiG BIG problem is Jesus focused on the POOR. Not Dr, Schuller. He was for the rich as most American Pastors. Hypocrites one and all
Schuller never had anything to offer the poor. How does American religion always forget the poor. What is so wrong. Sad
Schuller was a Freemason...his mentor was Norman Peale...another Freemason.
We love you Bobby 💞
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" 🙏✝️
I have trust HOURS OF POWER for many years . My life been bless.
I respect the Schuler family...God loves you and so do I... A thankful roman catholic who is humbled and not worthy. Thank you.
I look forward to when there is no such thing as a catholic on this planet. You don't even know what that religion is about.
I have been a part of the "Hour of Power" experience since 1985, almost 4 decades and will continue the support anyway I can.. 🙏🙂🙏🙂
Congratulations, Rev. Schuller! I am so inspired by your ministry. You are certainly carrying on the rich legacy your Grandfather so brilliantly passed on to you. May God continue to light every step of your journey. I will look forward to what you are going to do in the future in this new employ. God's Peace!
God Bless Doris
I am very thankful for the many times I watched The Hour Of Power on early Sunday morning TV here in Sydney 'Down Under', and for the blessings received from three generations of the Schuller family and their ministry.Many people around the world have also been blessed, which in my mind, made it all worthwhile.Times change, both for The Catholic Church in Orange County and for the revitalised Shepard's Grove Church. May God continue to bless all His people, wherever they may choose to worship Him, and through whatever religion.
I thought of Robert Schuller Jr. last night when I was watching the Super Bowl. I was reminded of how Coach Kubiak was fired from the Houston Texans, my home football team, and only 2 years later coached the winning team of Super Bowl 50! I remember Robert Schuller, Jr. being on the Hour of Power for the Easter service (saying "Happy Easter!") after the contemporary stuff went away. It was a welcome sight. I hope to see him on the hour of power in the future. Bobby does a great job, just like his dad!
First time seeing this. I knew they had gone off aire. But never knew this. I cried in first part of service. Still sad. It is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. The message I get is "Where there is an end, There is a new life to begin." This speaks personally of something's in my life. Time for a rebirth. Though I am hurt that Crystal Cathedral is no more. I did see prior a Ash Wednesday Service, So much changed. It's like stale, sorry. I knew Robert H. and Arvella Schuller had passed away. May God Bless the journey and growth of Shepherd's Grove.
Kudos that Bobby recognized this elderly woman Doris as being the final surviving charter member of his grandfather's church. Also, despite the family squabbling that Bobby's father (Robert A. Schuller) came to the final HOP service held at the Crystal Cathedral even though he had his own church ministry - he also acknowledged Doris saying he was glad he was not the only one there that day who also had been at the first service. Personally I think the original tenure developed a bit of hubris, putting on all of those Hollywood type live productions (not surprising given its location) and ran into trouble due to more competing televangelists so there would be less income (in the late 80's there was a scandal that marred all of them save Dr. Schuller Sr. and Billy Graham but still it affected their donations as a result). Although they seemed to eventually get donation income to return to pre-scandal levels, the problem was society has become more secularized so less donations plus no let up on the lavish spending on productions, lessening the ability to pay their financial debts. (This was a far cry from what principles Dr. Schuller Sr. operated on during his original ministry days as he mostly operated back then as on a cash only basis). Everything started to fall apart when Dr. Schuller Sr. stepped down and his successors didn't have his magic touch - another death knell was the 2008 Great Recession. No one will really know in this life whom was most culpable for the downfall of the HOP ministry at the Crystal Cathedral but it is sad that Robert Sr. and Arvella had to deal with these bankruptcy issues and family squabbling during their final years.
Amazing Grace is fantastic! Loved Bobby's sermon.
I WAS A KID AND REMEMBER WATCHING THE HOUR OF POWER IM A CATHOLIC AND IT WAS VERY NEAT TO HEAR HIM SPEAK AND NOW ITS A CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL HMM INTERESTING WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER OR NOT !
PRAISE BE JESUS CHRIST!🙏🙏
Having attended six Church Leadership conferences at the cathedral, I can say Robert Schuller is one of the few persons I've known that I came to respect more and more as I got to know them.
Fantasia on Amazing Grace was beyond awesome - very touching and great performance by Hour of Power orchestra!!!
A Mighty Fortress is Our God - Richard Rivale snapped on this one - it was an incredible piano performance there and definitely great work by the accompanying Hour of Power orchestra and Organ by Tom Leonard
Bless this House - Lovely performance Dorothy Benham!!!
Powerful benediction Robert A Schuller!!! People must have wept after such a tribute to God and the glass cathedral!!!
I had the opitunity to visit shephard grove church in Aug 2015 awsome experience
Alleluia! Beautiful service!
I grew up in a small town in the USA..that had a river run through it. The town was on an high hill. Atop that hill was a magnificent gothic church constructed of Holmesburg granite. The town was an old steel mill town. I would quit for lunch and on the tv was Reverend Shuller preaching in a parking lot, and talking about his vision of a crystal cathedral. Looking at it now, I cannot image how much it costs to keep all that glass clean. That said, it is a testament to one mans conviction and his imbuing that dream in many others. It’s a work of Art really.
loved this church, the sermons were real powerful
No gap here. It was a beautiful transition crossing a bridge of faith.
That benediction still brings tears to my eyes. Godbless you my old friend Schuller and the Schullers you inspired to take the mantle after you. Alleluia Amen! as he liked to say
For the human glory...standing applause for the human glory.....just like a show ..
It will always be a mighty fortress
Thanks for the memories
God bless to ministry of the hour of power
It was so hard to say goodbye to the church Dr. Schuller built, from the top down, it was bought by Catholic Diocese, after the Crystal Cathedral had gone bankrupt. Dr. Schuller knew about his grandson's move, to Shepherd's Grove, however, he was ill, and couldn't make appearances, afterwards, until his death. However, Dr. Schuller was still the best pastor. May he #RIP! (1926 - 2015).
I must say I have been to the Cathedral many times growing up. Wasn’t my home church but I loved visiting there, especially Christmas and Memorial Day. Loved the flashlights.😎 The greeting though, as a young kid greeting a stranger saying I love them and that they loved me was just weird. I didn’t understand that one.😂 Some even hugged! Anywho, lots of memories there. My favorite was when I was 11 years old, meeting Heather Whitestone and being invited as VIP guests to the glory of Christmas. So awesome!
How could they be so happy loosing that magnificent House of God ?? They had everything going for them for years and years but lost it.
It is sad and it was avoidable. Lots of family rifts and monies stopped rolling in and Robert Anthony was mistreated. The eldest sister tried but failed and it's nice that Bobby was called back. He is sounding more like Osteen in his approach now but I could be wrong.
The sister pushed it over the cliff,
Basically. Nepotism was one of the downfalls.
BROTHER BOBBY SCHULLER,AND WOMDERFUL PREACHER...GIVE HIM A HAND TOO.
I used to watch "The Hour of Power" in the 1960s from my apartment in Woodside Queens in NYC. It's very sad that even in a church there has to be power struggles that are mostly political .
WOW Your so amazing while i was in u.s.a Always visit your church .music so àmazing .so very beàutiful.
pràise God 🙏🙏🙏 Amen
Your grand father inspired so many. Rip
😢 what a sad and decisive end to decades of excellence by the Crystal Cathedral and the Hour of Power! They have never recovered from this. Nonetheless, a great musical tribute to what was!
Lovely!
Great bobby
32 YEARS OF MEMORIES
I'm a Seventh day Adventist but still enjoyed your Crystal Cathedral program.
What the Catholic Church did to this iconic building is criminal.
Criminal? They preserved a building for a religious purpose rather than someone else coming in and making it a …. Mall?
That sermon was just cope, and a face-saving exercise in climbdown that's also a bit of a snub to the next inhabitants, the RCC. Love it.
Amen . GBU ( god bless you ) and all !
Robert A. got the last "amen". Good for him.
Beautiful..
Bobby Schuller stepping in his grandfather’s shoes at Chrystal Cathedral

Who was the guy who played Classical Gas on the Harp on one of his shows. I've looked for it for years.
HOP2277 was produced on 30 June 2013.
43 years
At 2:00 I see myself in the audience ❤
Buda Taiwan had been violating that church. I am so glad that comeback to the people.
Next year should have been 39 years
We are very sorry for the crystal cathedral so this cathedral became a catholic cathedral. Now it is Christ Cathedral.
Sehr gute Predigt
I am catholic and have been for 17 years,but I'm sorry,it wiil always be the crystal cathedral,not some damm catholic church.the hour of power was a good service,I'm sorry for bitchin about it,I'm a retired eucharistic minister,but the crystal cathedral kept my faith alive..rest in peace rev schuller.
what catholic are you? i see many other protestnats also claim to be catholics. is it something like that?
@@Jrayhood I actually am catholic, I grew up and confirmed in the Protestant church, Missouri synod. I was married many, many years later to a catholic from the Philippines, the only way to go to mass was to become catholic, sadly due to COVID and my physical health, I can’t serve the Eucharist anymore
With a nice organ like that, who needs an orchestra. I was hoping the organist would drown them out.
Do you by any chance know that name of the postlude?
+Alex Haggerty that's the Toccata Widor.
Thanks so much! I'm going to have to get the music for that.
+Alex Haggerty that would take talent that I don't have.
The music does look difficult! I hope I can do it before my senior recital.
I was welcomed by CCM after I had hit rock bottom. They were very welcoming and understanding of my checkered past. It is a shame that BANG THE BABYSITTER 6 was "allowed" to be filmed here after the church was vacated.(they did not have permission obviously) while It is a shame that they were allowed to break in, it does not taint the good memories had here. I hope that legal action is taken against the producers of this smut. Best wishes to the new tenants, Even though I do not agree with catholic customs, I wish them the best.
LOL! That's so awesome. Thank you for bringing up the break in. Made my visit to the page a total win. :)
This was theatre but no service which give God any pleasure!
What kind of Baptism was that without submersion or even the sprinkling of water?, even Babies being Baptized in the Catholic Church suffer for its water bill to go up for that month
Hour of Power was always theatre and eventually became a circus.
The RC Diocese of Orange does not have a cathedral and that is one of the reasons why they bought the place. I would not want to have the job of transforming the place into a real cathedral.
Cathedral of the Holy Family temporally my confused gentle!
of course they had a Cathedral before this one
What was the date of this final service?
Shame that those members gave their money and sweat to this Church and to have a Family greedily waste it , most Family Business never survive 2nd or 3rd Generation because of Family squabbling , greed and incompetence
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER , WE LOST OUR RANCH THE SAME WAY , BIGGEST RANCH IN NEW MEXICO AT THE TIME !🙏
How did they consider that baptism?
It’s symbolic as is your consuming Jesus’ body
I miss the Hour of Power. Dr Robert Schuller (senior) has a lot to answer for for causing the destruction and ultimate end of this fantastic church!
While I agree that there was a lot of wrong that was done, God also forgives. God turned this around for His glory.
His daughter destroyed the church
I hear they will be turning it into a Gay Disco !
Give it time
Buy stock in Windex!
exactly, who would want to clean that?
holy shit
That were NO baptisms ... OH MY GOD ...
??? People have different traditions.
Suckling at Mary’s teet nonstop might be your tradition, but not everyone’s
I find something about this so deeply repulsive and disturbing. "Depart from me for I never knew you"
Possibly true but I'm not holy enough to endorse your comment Amanda.
why nobody is in jail?
Are Bobby Schuller and his father Universalists like Robert H. Schuller was? A Universalist is one who believes that all people are saved regardless of their religion or lack of religion.
Roman Catholic counter reformation.
What a "barky" rendition of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." Ugh. And this guy in the pulpit is more like a camp counselor than anything else. The members of that family tore the whole ministry to shreds with their greed and infighting. Oh yes, it was nice of him to than everyone... but this is so much more like a show than worship. Bobby Schuller invites everyone to pray--sort of. He launches in to his brief prayer without giving the congregation a chance to find silence and listen.
BY THE WAY BROTHER BOB, HOW COME YOU AINT CLAPPING LIKE LIKE THE AUDIENCE ALWAYS DOES EVERY NOW AND THEM
Well here we go...
I think some people below are a bit deluded on the subject of Christianity. Let us not forget that it was the Catholic Church that wrote the Bible by publishing them as one collection of books (they didn't have Bic pens back then, it took years and we actually made Peter, yes the one who was first named Paul to be Pope). Ever wondered why Protestants ask 'why do Catholic's add to the Bible'? Because the Protestant church took away from the original writings all incompatible books from it so that it would fit with their own beliefs. Furthermore, we do not need to talk about religious apologetics to even talk about how wrong John (the person commenting below) actually is, for, the Protestant church accelerated into society not because of Truth or Justice or Love or because of Our Lord's purposeful death; but because of one man's desire, King Henry VIII of England, to divorce his wife and re-marry. That is where the Protestant Church (every Christian church which is not Catholic) come's from: divorce. If you are a Christian or Catholic, then you honour and love the Truth so I encourage you not to believe what I say, but search the internet to verify what I have typed. One further example of how different we are is with Tithings. The Catholic Church does not teach on the issue of 'tithings' and we do not and are not required to give a certain amount of our income to the Church as Protestant Church's require of their congregation. The Catholic Church teaches that tithing was only binding on the Jews (which for one reason is why it's only found in the Old Testament, a part of the book which for many Protestants like to believe is 'no longer followed and is part of the old ways', apparently), yet Tithing of 10% seems to be something Protestants pastors excitingly enforce.
On the issue of 'cannibalism', I simply had to laugh so I can only keep it nice and simple for the young ones: Cannibalism requires the eating of 'human flesh', yet Catholics do not eat 'human flesh'. And if it were true, then I would be very worried about the government in your local area for allowing it, also, if you believe we are Cannibals then that means you believe that we really are eating the flesh of a human being and if it were so, who's flesh would it be? I mean, if it is human flesh then you might be inclined to believe it as that of Christ Our Lord, and then that would make you a Catholic. But in all honesty, cannibalism, really? Clearly some important words like 'substance' and 'transubstantiation' is required to understand that we Catholics are not cannibals so I will leave it to you in order to find the information, but here is a link with some easy explanations for you: www.catholic.com/blog/tim-staples/are-catholics-cannibals Perhaps you wonder why it's even listed as a subject if it weren't an issue, well it's because the Catholic Church has over it's 2000 year history seen all the same old arguments time and time again that it's old story now.
On the issue of homosexual priests, now you and many people may be surprised, but the Catholic Church does not condone homosexuality in the first place. It only condones the physical tendencies of homosexuality, which means that because sex before marriage is wrong, and homosexuals cannot be married under God then homosexual tendencies are wrong. Now it might be shocking that such a hot topic could be summed up so easily, but that's the thing about the truth, it's generally quite simple to get since no backstory is required.
Regarding the issue of Mary being the 'mediatrix', there is no competition here. Christians, Protestants and all who believe in the Bible will also agree; we know this to be true because, if Mary had not said 'Yes' to consenting to bring Jesus Christ into the world, then Redemption may not have been possible. To understand it in easy English, 'mediatrix' simply means a mediator, someone who is a go-between. Mary was a go-between, that's why Mary had to consent to Christ coming into the world through her. You and I are go-betweens, that's why we're told to pray for one another.Through Mary redemption was possible, and through her Son Jesus Christ the effect of redemption was obtained by all humanity, but Jesus alone is the only way to the Father.
And that's it. Tried to keep it short for all those here, but there it is. Welcome more arguments, do keep them polite though. Thanks.
+VII BOOM87 ....seriously...I mean, really?
Bobby Schuller hello Bobby I was at shepard grove church in Aug 2015 you weren't there but you sent me a thank you letter anyway for visiting you're church Chad Blake perched that sunday plesse e mail me back newdonald60@yahoo.com thank you I'm in berea ohio I used to attend a reformed church in fairview park ohio called new hope Pastored by Dan sewell
Im a Catholic ....Peter was called "Paul" first?..uh uh....he was Simon.
Maybe you better
revisit scripture yourself.
There were millions of Protestants across Europe before Henry VIII founded a separate Church of England; he was not the inventor of Protestantism - in fact he made many less reforms than continental reformers; he retained the threefold order of ministry, altars, statues, the centrality of the Mass, for example (although later leaders tried to remove some or all of them). You need to read about Luther, Calvin, Zwingli.
есть всё ивсе виртуозы но главного нет Христа а значит она пуста и бедна.есть простые,маленькие скромные но она богата потому что там есть Христос.Покайтесь и веруйте в евангелье
Not pagan. But Catholic and Christian.
Don't mind them they don't even know what pagan is
Catholic is only equal to Christian...
What is the name of the organ postlude?
+Alex Haggerty It is Charles Marie Widor's Toccata from his Organ Symphony No. 5
that was Vidor Toccatta from his Fifth Organ Symphony
I LOOOVE JESUS Christ and i am in deep AWE of Him and the divine power that HE is.. but i am struggling with the way you and your wife are trying to reflect true joy because i do not buy your happy the pappy smile.. sorry... You do not need this theater to let us know that you are longing for Christ truth.. because your are not reflelcting joy far from it...But my wish is that you and all of us humans will abide in Gods joy and love and freedom while we are in the world, in the name , the power above all powers Jesus the Christ the infinite eternal alfa and omega.. Be free and true because that is who Jesus is..
Greedy Schuler's, let the losing of this great creation be a lesson to the Roman Catholic Church or anyone else who are attempting to do what is wrong against the intent of so many who gave with the intent that the right purpose would be fulfilled.
Catholic Clergy make a fraction of Protestant ministers' salaries. There are 7 or 8 Masses a weekend at the Cathedral complex. The same kind of difficulties for a diocese are highly unlikely as what happened to Crystal Cathedral.
There are 2 priest at the catholic church I attend and between them they cover 13 masses in addition to any weddings or funerals.
What kind of Baptism was that without submersion or even the sprinkling of water?, even Babies being Baptized in the Catholic Church suffer for its water bill to go up for that month
Organ postlude is always cut out ... of everything!
The opening chorale piece could have been written by Obama himself.
I think robert schuller's son was an even better actor than his father.
How so?
sad
Good riddens, Crystal Cathedral!
*riddance (?)
the heresy is strong with this one.
it always drove me nuts to hear fabulous hymns that were inspired sung with altered words. yuck!!
We need positive reinforcement
great this church gets to become a pagan catholic temple
No my confused gentile purely HOLY HOLY HOLY
catholic priest are good at holes
YOU PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT! Catholics are Christians...
catholics are pagans of old
Patricia Thomas No you are the one who is clueless. You worship anything or any one besides God and Christ His son makes you a pagan and an idol worshipper. Before you disrespect me and call me names as you did the previous poster, I was raised in the catholic church and I know full well what they practice. Which is Heresy!!!
Why didnt god help them ?
Yeah say goodbye to all that nice shit you guys had and over spent. How utterly sad.
People like this family give Christians a bad name...
Heil Satanas abraxas!
