ARTESIA, Calif. -- The Rev. Robert H. Schuller, the Southern California televangelist and author who beamed his upbeat messages on faith and redemption to millions from his landmark Crystal Cathedral only to see his empire crumble in his waning years, has died. He was 88.
Schuller died early Thursday at a care facility in Artesia, daughter Carol Schuller Milner said. In 2013, he was diagnosed with a tumour in his esophagus that had spread to his lymph nodes and began treatment.

I always liked the Crystal Cathedral, architecturally speaking. It was designed by Philip Johnson, who also did a lot of other renowned buildings.
From the ten minutes or so that I spent watching his TV show, I can see why other evangelicals criticized Schuller for being "humanistic". He seemed relatively tolerant of other viewpoints, including non-Christian ones.
