Dr. Robert H. Schuller, an ordained pastor of the Reformed Church in America.<\/p>\n<p>Conflicts have plagued the Crystal Cathedral&#8217;s ministries since 2006, when Dr. Schuller&#8217;s son, the Rev. Robert A.

In 2009, Dr. Schuller&#8217;s daughter, Sheila Schuller Coleman, became Executive Director of Ministry and Mission.<\/p>\n<p>In October of 2010, the Crystal Cathedral filed for bankruptcy.
