Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

May 4, 2012
“What would you attempt if you knew you would not fail?”
Robert Schuller (1926-    )

Founder of the Hour of Power television show, Schuller was one of the most widely heard preachers of the televangelist movement of the late 20th century. After having established his church in a drive-in theater, he engaged Richard Neutra to design the Garden Grove Community Church in California in the late fifties, and Phillip Johnson to design the Crystal Cathedral in the seventies. His congregation eventually reached 10,000 members. He stressed the power of positive thinking and the possibility of oneness with the divine through right action. In 2008 he attempted to pass on his ministry to his children, but the Crystal Cathedral declared bankruptcy in 2010, and none of the Schuller family is currently in its leadership.

  1. I read in one of his autobiographies that he said he knew from the time he was a few years old, that he wanted to be a preacher when he grew up. It was instinctive….his calling.
