Brannon Howse: Aired January 16, 2012

Guest: Chris Pinto: Topic: More examples of ecumenicalism within today’s neo-evangelicalism. Hear the audio of Billy Graham say: “I think Islam is misunderstood, too, because, Mohamed had a great respect for Jesus, and he called Jesus the greatest of the prophets except himself. And I think that we’re closer to Islam than we really think we are.” Topic: The St. Louis Dispatch and Pioneer Press report on the Catholic counselors at Graham Crusades. Topic: The Pioneer Press reported on May 12, 1996 “The Rev. Martin Fleming, director of the office of evangelism for Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, says the Graham crusade has the full support of Archbishop Harry Flynn. The crusade will be one way to return disenfranchised Catholics to the church.” Topic: How has the term “fundamentalist” been turned into a pejorative that is used against anyone that does not agree with the group consensus of the liberal neo-evangelicals and New Religious Right? Topic: Hear Graham say that America was never a Christian nation. Why has the New Religious Right not gone after Graham for this statement as they have Obama and other liberals that say this? Topic: We take your calls.
