In my own dialogues, I’ve begun to differentiate between Evangelical and Christian. I don’t believe it is right for any human to judge the faith of another (I’ve been victimized and fired by people who judged mine), but I do believe proper definitions/distinctions are important. Graham was an Evangelical, but his beliefs were oftentimes the opposite of Christian doctrine. As with PGage, I didn’t wish ill against him, but I do not share his beliefs, nor do I recognize him as a spiritual or moral leader. He’s dead; now we have his son to contend with.
