Biography
American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author, principally known for the weekly Hour of Power television program, which he began hosting in 1970 until his retirement in 2010. Schuller began broadcasting the program from the Neutra Sanctuary, with the encouragement of longtime friend Billy Graham after Schuller visited him in 1969. He was also the founder of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, where the Hour of Power program was later broadcast.
On 15 June 1950, Schuller married Arvella De Haan (1929–2014), a church organist, who became instrumental in developing the music department at the Crystal Cathedral and was the creator and producer of the Hour of Power for over 40 years. The Schullers had five children including Robert A. Schuller, who also became a televangelist.
In late August 2013, Schuller was diagnosed with esophageal cancer that had spread to the lymph nodes. Arvella Schuller died on 11 February 2014, aged 84. Robert Schuller died early on the morning of 2 April 2015 at a nursing facility in Artesia, California, aged 88.
