Perhaps you're missing the true message behind all that you see. The beauty of the cathedral makes you look up while it lifts your mind and heart to God. The golden cross gives us the message that our true treasure lies within the cross. The cross is made of a vertical plain and a horizontal plain. The vertical makes us remember to give God His due and the horizontal reminds us to reach out to each other on in charity. Peace
Well the local Diocese bought the bldg. today and it will become a front containing a biological weapons R&D lab underneath to be used in the coming holy war on Islam. If you live near it you might want to consider moving or selling before word gets out.
Firstly, it's not in Long Beach - it's in Garden Grove. And it's NOT a gold cross - it's just lacquer. As you criticise this building, consider the massive cathedrals and basilicas throughout the world, especially Europe. Yes people are starving in our country - but you still bought a video camera and paid for travel instead of donating that money to the needy.
Ministries are in the soul saving business. It pleases the Lord when thousands gather in His name to worship, praise and fellowship. This ministry has reached and converted millions from sin to salvation. don't be so quick to judge, abundance is not always evil, sometimes it is a blessing!
Thank you so much for showing the hypocrisy of American Christianity. Such does exist in other devoloped countries but America would be number 1 as far as Christian Materialism. It seems like the "Church" is trying to be more like the world than being more like Christ what with it's rampant materialism amongst other things. God bless you!
Have you heard the Hazel Wright-Pearl Nugent Organ in this sanctuary? This church rescued that instrument from the trash heap of Carnegie Hall decades ago and have turned it to the glory of God Almighty. God is pleased when He is magnified with excellence. 20,000,000 people worldwide are blessed weekly as a result of this ministry. It is but one way of working out the Great Commission. And work it does...
@americanbaptist This organ part of which was the Ruffatti organ the ministry already had, and the other part (the Aeolian-Skinner) was from Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center in NYC NOT Carnegie Hall which never had a pipe organ (or at least that large as the one in Avery Fisher Hall). The Hazel Wright Organ is a combination of those two organs. Today sadly, it goes unused and needs repair. Hazel must be spinning in her grave at warp speed, and digging deeper. The Schuller's ruined that church.

if you people are so upset then why the fuck are you guys in the cathedral? fucken pussies. go out and do something for your comunity if things are so bad. Idiot's. WE SUPPORT AND BUILD OUR CHURCHES WITH OUR MONEY
we have been on the road for six months traveling around the united states to live out the values of Christ's kingdom and love the poor. so in response to what you've said, we are doing something about it. we left everything to follow Jesus. feel free to check out our other videos.
@underyourgrace God demands both social justice and right worship. You will see it all the way from old testament times to all the books of the new testament. Christianity is not merely a vehicle for social justice. It encompasses so much more. Remember that the rich man was condemned not for being rich, but because he had the opportunity each day to help a poor man, but did nothing at all.
I disagree with the Crystal Cathedral and the Schuller philosophy too but you guys need to do some research before posting crap like this.
