Here are photos from the the Rev. Dr. Robert Schuller memorial service, which I presided over today at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA. Dr. Schuller was a dear friend, a leader of leaders, who encouraged me a lot to take big steps of faith. He was instrumental in our church’s move from the Honolulu campus to Ko’olau in Kaneohe, HI.
