Founded in 1955, this church became famous for its weekly television show, \u003ca href=\"http://hourofpower.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“The Hour of Power”\u003c/a> and glitzy holiday productions at Christmas and Easter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Televising the morning service from the Crystal Cathedral both extended the reach of the church and allowed people to enjoy Sunday worship service from the comfort of their living rooms. The holiday productions, complete with performances from live animals and actors, were aimed at bringing people into the church to see, hear and experience biblical stories.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>For example, the Christmas story from the New Testament Gospels was reenacted in the main sanctuary of the church with Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable, along with the wise men, angels, and even camels and donkeys.

People could come to church and never have to leave their car.

He also gets an “A” grade from the National Rifle Association and a “0%” rating from Planned Parenthood. Bodnar thinks the key to defeating Royce will be voter education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what we need to do is overcome people’s lack of knowledge about who Ed Royce is,” Bodnar said. “And I think most people don’t pay attention to who their representative is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how big a chore will Democrats have in getting voters to focus on Royce or his challengers? A visit to the Fullerton public market suggests they have their work cut out for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a warm weekday evening, families were enjoying music, kids were playing and parents were chatting among themselves. Not surprisingly, politics was not top of mind for most folks, including Sara Gearhart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For starters, I asked if she knows who her Congress member is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t, not off the top of my head,” she said, adding that, “if you said his name, I’d say, ‘Oh yeah, I know who that is.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reminded that it’s Ed Royce, she said, “Yes, I do know that!” Saying she knows very little about him, she said she voted for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s hardly alone. Asked who her representative was, another voter who wanted to give only her first name, Grace, guessed, “Is that Kamala Harris? I don’t know,” before bursting into laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how much she follows politics, Denell Giustorobello from Anaheim said, “none, none whatsoever,” adding that she likes to keep it that way because there’s so much acrimony these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she said she is registered to vote. “Oh yes, I vote!” she said. “Is it a good vote? I don’t know — but I do vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interrupted from talking to a friend, Susan Rodriguez said she doesn’t bother to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not something I want to do lately,” Rodriguez said, “because I don’t like none of the options around.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats will have plenty of options this time around. Five Democrats, including one who has loaned his campaign $2 million, have announced they’re running against Rep. Royce. There are rumors others might jump in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are bracing for the onslaught. And they have a strategy of their own, centered around the Legislature’s recent increase in the gas tax. They’ve targeted freshman Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) for a recall based on his vote for \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1\">SB 1,\u003c/a> the transportation bill that will add 12 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas starting Nov. 1.

"content": "\u003cp>Officials in Orange County on Monday evicted roughly 100 people living on a half-mile-long homeless encampment along the bank of the Santa Ana River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the most visible example of the growing homeless problem in Orange County. Driving along several nearby freeways, you can see miles of makeshift tents and tarps along the cement banks of the dry riverbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday morning, the county descended on one segment of that burgeoning population. About a dozen vehicles -- sheriff’s cruisers, garbage trucks and county health officials’ cars -- lined up and moved in early to help the homeless residents clear out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The encampments lie in the shadow of two major attractions in Anaheim -- the major league baseball stadium for the Angels of Anaheim, and the Honda Center, home to the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those two sports venues had nothing to do with yesterday’s eviction, according to Orange County public works information officer Shannon Widor. He says this one section of riverbank is not part of the public trail that runs along the riverbed. Monday's move was prompted by public safety concerns, he said: It’s a flood channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a non-public area we’re maintaining,\" Widor said. \"We’re putting up security fencing, and we’re asking these people to move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/07/2017-07-18b-tcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2017/07/18/HomelessOCTent.jpg\" Title=\"Riverbank Homeless Evicted in Orange County\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those people was Daniel Stockey, who has lived in the area, moving from spot to spot, for several years. Stockey said he’s never seen anything like the flood of homeless who have come to the river in the past six months or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a long time it was just a few people. I don’t know why it blew up like it did,\" Stockey said, “but then it was way out of control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past year, the county has helped build two homeless shelters, and plans have been floated for three more. But county officials and homeless advocates are hampered by a lack of affordable housing in Orange County, so for now the bulk of the huge homeless encampment will remain along the river, with regular trash pickups scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Widor said health officials were on hand during the eviction process to try to get some of the homeless residents hooked up with county services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockey said he’ll just move on. He and his girlfriend saw the eviction notice posted on a fence five days ago, so he knew this was coming. He said he’s a union electrician, and hopes he’ll eventually be able to put a little money together to move to Oregon, where he has some family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like a little golf and relaxation,” he said with a crooked smile. “Maybe we’ll go to Oregon soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, he and his girlfriend spent Monday morning packing up their tent and belongings, and loading their stuff on a little cart attached to a bicycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where will the two of them go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no idea, really,” Stockey said. “I’ve been looking around for a few days now, trying to find a spot. And I just don’t really know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing he does know, Stockey said, is that he’s done living along the riverbed.

Driving along several nearby freeways, you can see miles of makeshift tents and tarps along the cement banks of the dry riverbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday morning, the county descended on one segment of that burgeoning population. About a dozen vehicles -- sheriff’s cruisers, garbage trucks and county health officials’ cars -- lined up and moved in early to help the homeless residents clear out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The encampments lie in the shadow of two major attractions in Anaheim -- the major league baseball stadium for the Angels of Anaheim, and the Honda Center, home to the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those two sports venues had nothing to do with yesterday’s eviction, according to Orange County public works information officer Shannon Widor. He says this one section of riverbank is not part of the public trail that runs along the riverbed. Monday's move was prompted by public safety concerns, he said: It’s a flood channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
