A belated comment, but thank you for this post. An excellent little combination of anecdote and thinking, from three wonderful people.

Sue,

You dazzle us with your keen perception. However, I don’t remember Hitler calling people to repent of their sins and come to the loving forgiveness of God.

I attended a Billy Graham crusade once. Or rather his Barnum & Bailley (there is a sucker born every minute) showbiz circus. Thats all it was “religious” show-business.

A more “sophisticated” and larger scale version of the old old revival-tent tradition of the USA.

Not all that different from Hitler working the crowds at Nuremberg.

My own personal memory is of an engaging debate between him and Michael Ramsey in Cambridge. (c 1980) It was marked by mutual respect and affection. During Graham’s address he was obviously aware f the university setting and restrained himself, Ramsey, having observed this, got into his pulpit, waggled his eyebrows in that charismatic way that only he could, and then, gesticulating wildly, said, *I’m here to talk to you about Jesus.” Talk about role reversal.
