Him and Schuller were great buddies. Peale was an RCA minister, who had influence on many of the RCA ministers of his generation, and was a regular speaker at conferences for the Unity cult in Kansas City. If you read his material (if you don't vomit) he is heavily into Religious Science and some of the teaching that effected the Fillmores who founded Unity School of "Christianiy" headquarted in Lee's Summitt, Missouri. Now we know why the RCA has fallen into apostacy.
