307.0. "Billy Graham" by NYTP07::LAM (Q ��Ktl��) Wed Sep 11 1991 11:08

    Billy Graham, the noted evangelist, will be holding a crusade in New
    York City's Central Park on Sept 22, 1991.  I give more details as I
    get them.  For many years, Graham has avoided the New York area because
    of lack of interest but the recent successes of crusades in Long Island
    and in New Jersey has prompted him to come to New York.

307.1	Billy Graham on the Larry King show	TNPUBS::PAINTER	Planet Crayon	`Fri Apr 15 1994 18:03`	29
	I saw most of Larry King's interview with Billy Graham last night. Very good. Unfortunately I caught the extremely late edition, so I don't quite remember his exact quotes, however when Larry K. asked him about the US being formed as a Christian nation, he replied something like: "The Puritans who landed here wanted it that way. However with the people of other faiths also coming to the country, by necessity it is now a secular, pluralistic society which welcomes the Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and many other religions as well. So we are now living in a country where every person is completely free to practice their religion as they so choose. And religious freedom is one of the most wonderful things about this country. I do wish the Bible were taught more in schools, however one thing I would like to see in every classroom is the 10 Commandments posted on the wall so that the youths growing up today know there are some moral and ethical boundaries on their behavior." [end] If anyone gets the transcript, feel free to correct these words above since they are paraphrased at best. My own thoughts - I think that would be a great idea, and to add to that, also post the equivalent statements in the other religions as well, since all other religions have the same ideals as stated in the 10 commandments, only using different words.
