BILLY GRAHAM
one of the few places in the
world where he has not yet
preached. We discussed
ways by which to counter
Soviet exploitation of his
presence.
Dr. Graham asked if I
could help him meet with
Soviet Jews as a gesture of
solidarity. I assured him
that I would.
We recalled together a
similar conversation sev-
eral years before when he
went to Hungary and
then to Poland. In each
case, Billy Graham vol-
unteered to meet with
Jewish leaders as a sig-
nal to the repressive gov-
ernments that the world-
famed evangelist cares
about the human rights
and religious freedom of
Jews as he does about
Christians.
When you consider his
unorthodox record of sup-
port of Israel and his vigor-
ous stands against anti-
Semitism, it is clear without
question that Billy Graham
is one of the best friends of
the Jewish people and of Is-
rael in the entire Christian
community.
