Pastor Chuck Smith dies

Pastor Chuck Smith dies at 86; founder of Calvary Chapel movement
In his church office, pastor Chuck Smith kept a crown made of thorns and a jar full of candy. The thorns were from the Holy Land. The candy was for his grandkids. The image suggested his special appeal as a preacher: A harsh, old-school Christianity delivered with grandfatherly sweetness. Smith, the founder of the Jesus People and the Calvary Chapel movement, and one of the most influential figures in modern American Christianity, died Thursday morning at his home in Newport Beach after a two-year battle with lung cancer, church officials said. He was 86.  

Will Calvary Chapel now split along the lines of the influences of the Discernment Movement -vs- Emerging Church Movement?
