I wonder if the problem is that Franklin is trying to walk in the steps of  
his father - something the Schuller children haven't apparently had to do

Errr ...  Phillips Brooks? Great preacher, low church, still a dominant

Brooks had no children, of  course.

I certainly agree about Franklin Graham. His popup ads about  Jesus'
love of America always makes me want to spit "He loved  PEOPLE,
not countries, ya git."
