For most of his life, the megachurch ministry of Robert H. Schuller in Orange County, California, displayed an apparent strength that betrayed none of the fractures that lay below the success-oriented surface. Yet, when tested and stressed in the late 2000s, the ecclesial structure's accumulated fragility proved to be catastrophic. Drawing on extensive data gathered from archives, interviews, and ethnographic observation, The Glass Church examines the spectacular collapse of The Crystal Cathedral to better understand both the strength and fragility of Schuller's ministry. The apparent success of the ministry obscured the many tensions that often threatened its future. Certainly, all churches depend on a mix of constituents, charisma, and capital, yet the size and ambition of large churches like Schuller's Crystal Cathedral exert enormous organizational pressures to continue the flow of people committed to the congregation, to reinforce the spark of charismatic excitement generated by high-profile pastors, and to develop fresh flows of capital funding for maintenance of old projects and launching new initiatives. The constant attention to expand constituencies, boost charisma, and stimulate capital among megachurches produces an especially burdensome strain on their leaders. By orienting an approach to the collapse of the Crystal Cathedral on these three core elements--constituency, charisma, and capital--The Glass Church demonstrates how congregational fragility is greatly accentuated in larger churches, a notion we label megachurch strain, such that the threat of implosion is significantly accentuated by any failures to properly calibrate the inter-relationship among these elements.

The story of Christ Cathedral is alive with examples of the work of the Holy Spirit, from its literal foundation to its art and architecture. This work of narrative nonfiction first explores the life of Dr. Robert Schuller, a man who was inspired to grow a humble church on the rooftop of a drive-in theater into an international ministry that broadcasted around the world from a glass church in California. Dr. Schuller named his massive, 10,000 glass pane church the Crystal Cathedral. The see-through ceiling and walls gave the impression of preaching under the open sky. Crystal Cathedral Ministries always had what it needed to fulfill its goals, outreach, and expansion, until Schuller's age pulled him out of full-time ministry and the church collapsed financially.More than thirty acres of land with five buildings of architectural significance faced liquidation in bankruptcy proceedings. Using court transcripts and personal interviews with those directly involved, this book explores how the Diocese of Orange emerged as the likely buyer. For more than a decade, Bishop Tod Brown had struggled to build a cathedral, and this option seemed to fulfill that need and save the campus as a place for Christians. Remarkably, it was the 84-year-old Schuller who urged his Board of Directors to accept the Diocese of Orange's offer so that the cathedral would be preserved as "a place of Christian worship." Dr. Schuller called the Catholic Church his "Mother Church."Each phase of the story introduces new and critical players who served their own roles, from fundraising to the restoration of the new campus. The redesign of the Crystal Cathedral brought dedicated people, both Catholic and Protestant, together to renew it as a catholic place of worship. From the restoration of the Hazel Wright Organ to the mosaic of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the innovative white ceiling quatrefoils to the marble altar, the result is a cohesive, singular Cathedral.Following the theme that the tapestry is woven from the back, this story details the large and small, often inexplicable, ways that the Lord lights the way without revealing the true destination.

Built around 1200 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site that draws more than a million visitors and pilgrims each year, Chartres Cathedral is one of the jewels of Western Civilization. How Chartres Cathedral and its priceless stained glass (today the largest such collection in one location) survived World War II’s widespread destruction of cultural monuments is one of the great stories of recent history. Saving the Light at Chartres begins half a decade before World War II, when a young French architect developed a plan to save the cathedral’s precious stained glass. As war engulfed Europe in the fall of 1939, master glass artisans dismantled the hundreds of windows, and soldiers, tradesmen, and laborers with local volunteers crated thousands of glass panels, stowed them in the crypt, and months later—just before German invaders reached Chartres—hauled them across the country to an underground quarry. This effort to save the stained glass is but a prologue. By August 1944, the U.S. Army had broken out of Normandy and was racing across France toward Paris and the Seine. Chartres became a key battleground. Allied bombing blew out the cathedral’s temporary window coverings, and when the Americans—assisted by French Resistance fighters—entered the city in the face of unexpectedly heavy defiance and snipers in the cathedral, many soldiers believed German artillery spotters were occupying the cathedral’s spires. When Colonel Welborn Griffith Jr.—a senior operations officer of Twentieth Corps in Patton’s Third Army—arrived, some were pressing to countermand the army’s standing order to avoid the cathedral and threatened to destroy it to neutralize the German spotters. Griffith was skeptical. He inspected the cathedral himself, climbed its towers, but found no Germans, so he rang the bell, waved an American flag, and ordered that the cathedral be spared, saving it from destruction. Griffith would be killed later that day. Victor Pollak tells both stories—the rescue of the windows and Colonel Griffith’s fateful role—in a compelling narrative. Saving the Light at Chartres honors the government and local teams who saved the windows, the Resistance that performed a vital role in the liberation of Chartres, Welborn Griffith, and the enduring treasure that is Chartres Cathedral.
