		<description><![CDATA[Rob Bell, the controversial mega church pastor and author of &#8220;Love Wins&#8221;, recently announced that he was leaving the Grand Rapids church (Mars Hill) that he founded. There was so much interest in the announcement that Mars Hill&#8217;s website crashed.

		<description><![CDATA[The reports out of Orange County, California have not been encouraging for the once mighty Crystal Cathedral. Robert Schuller founded the church and recently retired as the church&#8217;s senior pastor.  In turn, the church never fully recovered from Schuller&#8217;s pastoral departure.
