Statement from President Clinton and Secretary Clinton on the Passing of Rev. Robert Schuller

Statement

Hillary and I were saddened by the passing of Rev. Robert Schuller.  From the people who filled the pews of the Crystal Cathedral to the millions who embraced his ministry on television and through his books, Robert Schuller was a beacon of faith, hope, and love.  We will always be grateful for his unfailing kindness and wise counsel.  In 1997, he sat with Hillary at the State of the Union address as I asked Congress to follow his biblical admonition to me—that we are all called to be “the repairers of the breach” in a divided world.  Robert Schuller’s generous spirit repaired many breaches.  Now he has gone home to his faithful reward.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends.
