The life of evangelist Robert Schuller is being honored Monday at a public memorial service in the cathedral he built in southern California.
Schuller died at age 88 on April 2 after a battle with cancer of the esophagus.
Schuller shared his upbeat message of faith in the TV program "Hour of Power" that began in the 1970s.
At its peak the program had 20 million viewers in about 180 countries.
Schuller was born in Alton, Iowa, in 1926 and ordained in 1950. He was pastor of Ivanhoe Reformed Church in Chicago from 1950 to 1955, then moved to California.
Schuller and his late wife Arvella had a son and four daughters. Arvella died Feb. 11, 2014, after a brief illness.
