 --Famous
                  and influential American Evangelical Christian
                  minister and media personality, the Reverend Billy
                  Graham played a significant part of the growth of
                  evangelical Christianity in the United States and
                  in the world in the mid- and late-Twentieth
                  Century. His "Crusades," huge gatherings of
                  believing Christians, drew thousands of the
                  faithful to hear his message, as millions more
                  audience members participated through the medium of
                  the television. He is considered one of the best
                  known Protestant Fundamentalist preachers in
                  America, with a significant following, and the
                  unofficial title of Minister to America's
                  Presidents. He has served as a spiritual advisor to
                  every U.S. President since Dwight
                  Eisenhower.
                  
                  
He
                  became a minister in the Southern Baptist Church in
                  1939, entered Wheaton College in Illinois and began
                  preaching in Chicago in the early 1940s. While in
                  Chicago, he began a radio program in order to reach
                  more people with his message. Throughout his
                  career, he deftly used the media to enlarge the
                  range of his voice and his message. In 1949, he
                  gained national attention with a preaching campaign
                  he called a "crusade," in Los Angeles. The
                  nationwide focus of his newfound publicity was
                  aided by the desire of newspaper magnate William
                  Randolph Hearst, who increased his newspaper's
                  coverage of Graham because of the strong
                  anti-Communist fervor the young preacher showed in
                  his sermons and his messages.
                  
                  
After
                  a three-month long crusade in New York City in
                  1957, Billy Graham became one of the leaders of the
                  national Protestant Fundamentalist movement. His
                  ability to speak to the common man, hearkening back
                  to his roots in the hills of North Carolina,
                  enabled him to connect with millions of ordinary
                  Americans in his long and influential
                  career.

                     successor, the Reverend Franklin
