Last Saturday I posted about Jim Wallis and Billy Graham. In hindsight i think it was a bit unfair. Although i might not really get the whole crusade thing Billy Graham has done more for Christianity over the last century than most, so i guess we should all be thankful for the message even if we don't appreciate the means.
Bono and some other guys have put together this tribute. It does give you some idea of the impact that this one bloke has had on the world.
"At a time when religion seems so often to get in the way of God's work, with its shopping mall sales pitch and its bumper sticker reductionism -- I give thanks just for the sanity of Billy Graham, for that clear, empathetic voice of his and that southern accent, and part poet, part preacher, the singer of the human spirit I'd say. Yeah, I give thanks to Billy Graham"- Bono
