Preach It

What Billy Graham should have stuck to. A is A. One degree of separation. Krugmania. Plus more.
p> PREACHER DON’T POLITICK br> Re: Michael P. Orsi’s Evangelist and Enabler : /p>

I enjoyed the piece on Billy Graham immensely, as it is something that I have always felt about Mr. Graham. While I respect his evangelism and his faith, I have had doubts about his deep involvement in politics and with politicians, not to mention his increasing ecumenism in recent years.

Mr. Graham has always seemed to be more interested in being a part of the political inner circle than in actually ministering to any of these men. Both sides have used the other: the politicians benefit from having the support of a man that is nearly universally loved and respected, while Mr. Graham gets to bask in the glow of these powerful men and have his ego stroked.

I have never understood how a man such as Graham could be true to his faith while supporting nearly every position that his political “friends” held. It just seems odd that a man who calls himself a Christian can sit idly by and support abortion, or not speak out against the policy of segregation.
