Friday, June 24th, 2005“Billy Graham, 86, is in New York this weekend for another crusade. Read what TIME has written about Graham and other American Evangelicals.” For example: “If Billy [Graham] was the ultimate preacher, then Franklin made a run at being the ultimate Preacher’s kid: fighting, taunting the police of Montreat into high-speed car chases and cultivating [...]
It’s still amazing
Friday, June 24th, 2005… how such a simple message, delivered in such a plain spoken way, can draw so many so often. Friday’s first Crusade evening saw thousands respond as Billy Graham gave the same invitation he’s been giving for 60 years, following a basic 20 minute sermon on what it means to be born again. For all [...]

New York: Bastion of evangelicalism?
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005“[T]he Rev. Billy Graham, 86, his once-booming baritone reduced to a scratchy whisper, is set to preach to New York City once again, for what he and his aides say is probably his final crusade. But after preaching his story of God’s love to more than 200 million people in 180 countries and territories, he [...]
Refl3ctions photo in the New York times
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005The Refl3ctions prayer and worship event on Friday night exceeded just about everyone’s expectations. Between 750 and 1,000 teens from Korean, Chinese, and Spanish language churches gathered at Korean Presbyterian Church in Flushing in a sea of multi-ethnic beauty that foreshadowed eternity. The program included music groups Jesus Generation (Chinese), Joyful Praise Ministries (Korean), and [...]
New York, a Billy Graham Experiment
Thursday, June 16th, 2005“For better or worse, the church has typically followed the lead of secular society when it comes to our attitudes about race. Today racial reconciliation has become an evangelical buzzword. Organizations like Promise Keepers proclaim its importance. Christian books, magazines, and musical artists denounce racism and celebrate ethnic diversity in the church. When Billy approached [...]
Unoriginal
Monday, June 13th, 2005The rivalry between the NY Daily News and NY Post took an unexpected turn today. The papers are bitter competitors with antagonistic politics, publishers that resent each other, and a penchant for headline one-upmanship. But today the ice thawed as, for the first time in my memory, both papers agreed on a headline and printed [...]
Kingdom Contradictions?
Monday, May 16th, 2005Is this what Jesus meant by the “kingdom of heaven”? “So successful are some evangelicals that they’re opening up branches like so many new Home Depots or Subways…. “For all their seemingly unstoppable success, evangelicals must contend with powerful forces in U.S. society. The ranks of Americans who express no religious preference have quadrupled since [...]
Mama mia, Godfather II
Sunday, April 24th, 2005It had been so long I forgot most of the film. So I took advantage of an off Sunday (Diana and Judah joined Jo to drive Willie and Amber back to Massachusetts this morning) and watched Godfather II (after church, go figure) this afternoon. My feelings about this movie are almost exactly the opposite as [...]
Motorcycle Diaries
Sunday, April 24th, 2005I finally got around to watching Motorcyle Diaries this weekend, after anticipating it since last summer. On the whole, I was disappointed with the movie, as a movie, because of a pace that d-r-a-g-g-e-d at parts, and the inclusion of too many “roadtrip” cliches. But the point of the film I loved, even though Ernesto [...]
