A recent move to ban homosexuality from the Crystal Cathedral sparked opposition by the church's founder who says he disapproves of a covenant requesting choir members to abstain from homosexual practices.
The Orange County Register reported that former Pastor Robert H. Schuller strongly opposed the covenant, stating that it went against the message of tolerance and acceptance that has permeated the Garden Grove mega-church for years. (Schullers at odds over biblical truth)
The California pastor noted that he has a "reputation...of being tolerant of all people and their views" and is "too well-educated to criticize a certain religion or group of people for what they believe in."
Peter LaBarbera, founder of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (ATH), notes that Schuller is compromising the Word of God. "It's mystifying to hear Christian leaders like Robert Schuller now distancing them from the commonsense biblical truth," he reacts.
(Billy's Thoughts>>> This makes me question if this man is truly committed to the teachings of Jesus. It is one thing to reach out to those who are living in sin it is quite another thing for a church to allow people in sin to take part in church ministry. I think a Pastor should teach what the word of God says, don't you?)
