Embroiled in a legal dispute with the church he founded, Robert H. Schuller and his wife have resigned from the international board of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove.

The resignations are a result of a breakdown in negotiations over financial claims against the church that the Schullers filed in Bankruptcy Court.

Schuller; his wife, Arvella; their daughter Carol Schuller Milner; and her husband, Timothy Milner, allege that the church owes them money for copyright infringement, intellectual property violations and unpaid contracts.

"We cannot continue to serve on the board in what has become an adversarial and negative atmosphere especially since it now seems that it will not be ending any time soon," Arvella Schuller said in a statement Saturday.

4. In the 1970s I got a gig as a guitar player in the orchestra

providing entertainment at the Disneyland Hotel in the ballroom where Schuller was putting on his shows to raise money for the Crystal Cathedral. The band had to sit through all of his speeches to live audiences and it seemed that every other word out of his mouth was about money. I heard very little about the charitable Christian works he proposed to do with the cathedral he wanted to build but more about how having such a building would allow him to raise even more money in the future. He even came to the musician's table when we were being fed between shows to hit us up for donations.

5. What is staggering is that the Catholic Church is spending $57 million to buy the cathedral.

That is truly shocking.
