Database Manager on August 05, 2016:

The main organ and console were moved into the gallery of the Crystal Cathedral's new main sanctuary in 1981, leaving the Antiphonal divisions to serve as a chapel organ in what became the Arboretum; the console was replaced in 1990 by a new Moller console and was relocated to First Congregational Church, Lake Worth, Florida.
