An email was sent out to members of the Crystal Cathedral congregation in Orange County requesting meals for founder Robert H. Schuller’s wife Arvella, who is ill with pneumonia. The request was that meals for the reverend’s wife be dropped off at the cathedral’s Tower of Hope where the Schullers’ limo drivers will be waiting to pick them up at the designated time.
Member Bob Canfield says he was outraged when he got the message.
“These are millionaires who have limos and chauffeurs,” he said. “Why in God’s name would they want the congregants to deliver meals? It’s ludicrous.”
The email states that the Schullers do not want get-well cards sent because they would like to “keep her situation under the radar.”
“However, they would appreciate meals over the next three to four weeks,” the email states. “They 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.”
The message also requests that the meals be low in sodium and include items such as fruit, meats, soup and egg dishes such as quiches.
