The Crystal Cathedral




This play is otherworldly. It looks like something straight out of snow white. The structure above is refered to as the Crystal Cathedral. It is owned by Chrystal Cathedral Ministeries headed by Dr. Robert H. Schuller. I have watched this ministries television broadcast and I got the impression that there was some sort of man maid rain forest just behind the pool pit area. Its almost as if they told the architect to make it look like Jesus and his host of angels were tenets. The towering structure on the right is referred to as the Tower of Hope. It was originally commissioned in 1961 to noted architect Richard Neutra. It was completed in 1969. Dr. Schuller commissioned architect Phillip Johnson to design the sanctuary referred to as the Crystal Cathedral.
