Interesting...or not (a small peek into the author's childhood)

Usually evangelists give me a severe case of the willies (and usually a minor fit as well) - however I have some strangely fond childhood memories of sitting on the livingroom floor watching Billy Graham crusades on the console sized 15 channel tv (yes it was a color tv) - I think my mother or aunt sang at one of the crusades in Chicago when they were in college, so we often watched out of some sense of nostalgia..... and of course my parents were and remain devoutly evangelical.

I know, I know, I'm a whole host of contradictions.

However, I spent some time reading a recent Newsweek interview with Mr. Graham and found it to be shockingly (to me at least) tolerant, accepting, balanced and (gosh) ecumenical. Perhaps that Wheaton degree in anthropology had some impact....
