Schuller disparages ban on gays in church’s choir

Crystal Cathedral founder Robert H. Schuller says he never would have
approved a recent covenant that the church's choir members were asked
to sign urging them to be Christian and heterosexual.

"I have a reputation worldwide of being tolerant of all people and their views," Schuller told the Orange County Register. "I'm too well educated to criticize a certain religion or group of people for what they believe in. It's called freedom."

The
covenant describes choir members as people who confess Jesus as their
savior, consider the Bible "authoritative and infallible" and understand
the cathedral's position that marriage is "between one man and one
woman."
