Herbert W. Armstrong had Ambassador Auditorium built in the 1970s mainly as a means to reach people (and especially world leaders) who were often secularly oriented. It wasy (and still is) well known for its acoustic quality.

After Herbert W. Armstrong died, those who took it over did not share his views on theology or public proclamation of Christ’s gospel of the kingdom. And ultimately they sold the property to fund their own priorities.

But the priority of proclaiming the true gospel remains today.

Several articles of possibly related interest may include:

Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul and Herbert W. Armstrong expect from evangelists?
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was the Emphasis of Jesus and the Early Church Did you know that? Do you even know what the gospel of the kingdom is all about? True religion should be based upon the true gospel.
The Temple and the Work This article discusses the two temples of the Old Testament and gives insight as to their possible relevance to the situation which has impacted the Church during this past decade or so.
