Billy Graham and the Fundamentalist Takeover of SBC

[Ed Pettibone]

Ed: Steve Fox wrote, " If you want to know Graham, read Steven Miller. Billy Budd may in the end be all he was and if the case Marshall Frady got him right in 70"

Steve my knowledge of Graham comes not only from reading about him, but from personal acquaintance with a half dozen close friends of his, including a former secretary and two others who worked with him directly. Each of them confess that he is human but that he learned and made positive changes along the way. Many Christian leaders latter in life discover that they failed to spend enough time with their off spring rather than assuming they would learn from the parents experience.

Ed it goes round and round with Graham. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as late as 9-11 service when he talked about Grace. And mIller's book measure him well. But all his life, even after Nixon he played his sleight of hand one too many times, and his activity of deceit in the SBC at most significant times and then just last year trying to be cute when he helped elect Boy Moore chief justice of the Supreme Courth while being most inarticulate on the underbelly of the Tea Party, he is finishing badly and seems intent on proving he mighta been overrated all the time. See my off posted link of Steven Miller's reflections on Graham; or its an easy google.
