This is a bit off-topic (especially the Fosdick part), but is the sort of thing I am known to wonder about:
1) It's my understanding that in the 1950s there were demonstrations in England protesting Graham's being allowed into the country because of his extremist views, but I've never known what particular issue sparked them. Was it his anti-Catholic positions (which also, by turning him towards Nixon, may have helped initiate his long-running collusion with worldly power in DC)?
2) The mention of Dr. Fosdick, and his regret that such a fine paper would print an ad for such a modernist, pope-loving book, reminds me of the question whether there are many anti-modernists who refuse to sing "God of grace, and God of glory" because of its author's modernist inclinations, and on a related line of thought, whether there are many Trinitarians (Baptist or otherwise) who refuse to sing "It came upon the midnight clear" or "A mighty Fortress is our God" because their author and translator, respectively, were Unitarians.
