In reply to the discussion: Robert H. Schuller, ‘Hour of Power’ televangelist, dies at 88 [View all]SpankMe
(2,957 posts)When I was a kid, his evangelism was moderate, completely non-negative, non-confrontational and non-political. It was a truly uplifting message. He wasn't a bad guy. It was only recently that the elder Schuller made public comments on political matters that pissed me off.
His son - who preaches today - is another story. Schuller, Jr. is an activist, right-wing crackpot who's abandoned his father's moderate ways.
Also, when the Schuller ministries got their non-profit status revoked, they didn't fight it much. They know where they stood and paid their taxes willingly.
In today's environment, any political organization masquerading as a church would fight hard to keep their non-profit status and would whine on Fox News about being attacked by the liberal elite.
Whatever you thought of Schuller, Sr., he acted a lot more honorably than his whack-job descendents.
