from philip yancey's award winning book...and rightly so.
"during the Brezhnev era at the height of the Cold war, Billy Graham visited Russia and met with government and church leaders. Conservatives back home reproached him for treating the Russians with such courtesy and respect. he should have taken a more prophetic role, they said, by condemning the abuses of human rights and religious liberty. One of his critics accused him of setting the church back 50 years. Graham listened, lowered his head, and replied, "i am deeply ashamed. i have been trying very hard to set the church back 2000 years."
