Robert Schuller introduces a perverse new approach to meals on wheels.

In the news today we find a story from Garden Grove, California, where members of the bankrupt Crystal Cathedral megachurch are screaming about the latest outrage. Ousted former pastor and TV evangelist Robert Schuller, a greedy old Einstein if ever there was one, sent an email to the entire congregation asking them to drop off prepared meals for his sick wife, Arvella, to a row of waiting limos parked in front of the church tower at 4:30 p.m. Please note: Mrs. Schuller does NOT want any stupid “get well” cards because she’s a very private person. Free food, however, is acceptable … as long as it’s low sodium with lots of meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables.
This appalling request comes just weeks after a lawsuit charging that Schuller and his relatives had been paying themselves lavish salaries and cash bonuses while the church sunk into a financial abyss. The Schullers drained more than $10 million from the Crystal Cathedral’s endowment fund while flying in private jets, driving around town in chauffeured limousines and living a life of opulence in their Laguna Beach estate.

The suggestion that Einsteins like this need a free tuna noodle casserole is beyond belief.

According to an additional report, Mrs. Schuller also is requesting a Rollex watch, beachfront property in Florida, ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a couple of thorobreds, new carpeting for the family room and live-in maid service so somebody can shove all those free meals into a microwave. Just no “get well” cards, please.

Thank you for reading this.
