Airing on the Hour of Power: Sunday, May 6, 2012 Service (TV 2207) will air May 20, 2012 Watch Now on Hour of Power
Viewers local to Southern California can watch on TBN Channel 40 – 6 PM Saturday
Dateline: May 3, 2012 – 1:49 AM – Mentioned on our blog page is this item: The author of “Dwelling in Schullerland,” has sold the TV and Movie rights to a production company.” No doubt they plan to make a movie about “Schullerland.” Let’s see if we get can get this straight. Motor Trend Magazine booked into Schullerland to shoot pix for a magazine spread about cars. Paramount Studios booked into Schullerland to make a movie at “Schullerland called “Star Trek II.” Now, an unnamed production company is not going to “book” into Schullerland but is going to make a TV program or movie about Schullerland based on the book, “Dwelling in Schullerland.” Really, we’re not making any of this stuff up! And, at some point, perhaps the Catholics will move into Schullerland. But wait, there’s more. God may have a different plan and somehow we’ll just stay and “bloom where we are planted.”

Dateline: May 4, 2012 – 12:36 AM PDT – The phone calls and the emails to the webmaster keep coming. Certainly, the central theme that many are concerned about keeps changing, sometimes, from week to week and at others, from day to day. For the past week the theme has been “They just don’t get it!” The “just don’t get it” reference is to the decisions of leadership over the past few weeks regarding the Hour of Power and the guests that are being invited to deliver the message. The congregation feels that Dr. Lawrence Wilkes is the one with the ability and background to preach a really outstanding message. The recurring question sent to this web site is, “Why do they keep bringing in boring guests to preach when we have Dr. Wilkes?” Unfortunately, we don’t have the answer, only the board or others in leadership have those answers.
The issue is, with the resignation of the elder Schullers’ from the board and the return to a traditional RCA church and the selection of Dr. Wilkes to be interim pastor, things couldn’t have been better. Yet, many who were motivated to once again begin to financially support the ministry decided to wait and see if the positive trend continued.
The Crystal Cathedral and the Hour of Power are both on thin ice, and now is not the time to be disingenuous with the membership and the Hour of Power viewers.
The buzz around the campus is, the Hour of Power will only be on the air for a mere five more weeks unless financial support increases. How about a church service that also happens to be televised with NO SCHULLERS! The two polls that are up on this site seem to indicate people are also voting with their wallets.

Dateline: May 13, 2012 – 10:45 PM PDT – Great News! Dr. Lawrence Wilkes has moved the school of theology of which he is President, to the 4th Floor of the Family Life Center on the Crystal Cathedral Campus. The fourth floor of the FLC originally housed the Robert Schuller Theological School which was affiliated with Union Theological Seminary in New York City. It has been reported that Dr. Wilkes was able to accomplish this move through a Pell Grant to rent the facility from the Crystal Cathedral.
Dateline: May 15, 2012 – 10:35 PM PDT – Okay, many of you congregants that have been
complaining to this web site for the past month about conflicts of interest or question
where loyalties lie concerning some staffers. Yes, without mentioning specific names,
we are aware that a few may have allegiances to Schuller in-
ALL–CHURCH MEETING CONSIDERED A SUCCESS!
More congregants than expected turned out for the meeting with the board this balmy Wednesday evening. Extra chairs needed to be setup to accommodate everyone. It would be safe to say this was history in the making since this is a first time event where the board of this ministry has met with the congregation.
Many questions were submitted to the board by the congregation and this web site believes the board exercised due diligence in both compiling the many questions into categories to effectively respond. During the next week or so, this web site will be posting the most relevant questions and responses by the board. All in all, this was a positive first step. The board announced that it is planned to continue such meetings with the congregation to keep everyone informed.
Dateline: May 16, 2012 – 11: 30 PM PDT – At the “All Church Meeting” with the board, when CEO John Charles asked Dr. Lawrence Wilkes to end the meeting with a closing prayer, not only did Dr. Wilkes receive the only standing ovation of the evening; it was a most enthusiastic standing ovation and a real tribute to Lawrence. Dr. Wilkes name should be at the top of the list for consideration as the next Senior Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral. Not only did Dr. Wilkes step up when there was an obvious need for a Pastor to lead this congregation into a new era for this ministry, he also has the credentials and the qualifications to make an outstanding Senior Pastor for this iconic world wide ministry.
