Meals on (Really Expensive) Wheels

The Rev. Robert Schuller, the millionaire founder of the Crystal Cathedral is asking for congregants of his bankrupt church to provide meals for for the next several weeks because his wife (Arvella) is ill. Of course, the unwashed masses (read: congregants) can’t deliver them to his home. Instead, according to an email sent by church administrators, the meals “are to be sent to the church in order to be transported to Arvella. The limo drivers could pick up the dinners or meet in the Tower Lobby around 4:30 p.m.”

Bob Canfield, a member of the church, summed things up nicely when he told The Orange County Register, “These are millionaires who have limos and chauffeurs… why in God’s name would they want the congregants to deliver meals? It’s ludicrous.”

In God’s name indeed.
