Crystal Cathedral Bankruptcy: 'Miracle Faith Offering' Drive Falls Short
Crystal Cathedral administrators, who announced a "faith filled" decision in July to raise $50 million to try to pay off its debt and maintain ownership of the church, have reportedly fallen short in their fundraising efforts.

It was reported Friday by that the Schullers have failed to raise even half the funds needed to prevent the church from being sold.

The Orange County Register discovered in court papers filed last week that the congregation has only collected $4,737 in their Miracle Faith Offering drive, a far cry from the $50 million owed in debts.

For some reason the adage "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones" seems wildly appropriate here.

2. Another Cult of Personality "Church".
The family couldn't keep it going after their founding grifter croaked.

Sucks for them, bet they have millions stashed away to salve their grief.

That one ain't workin' for me.

4. Roman Catholic Diocese offer $53 million. . .
Don't they have victims of sexual abuse to compensate? This just shows what they're priorities are and compensating victims for abuse isn't one of them.
