Church Leaders Should Condemn Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham looks like his dadI met his dad onceBilly Graham stands as a monument to responsible evangelicalismFranklin Graham stands as a monument to the snide politics of Christian declineThe notion that the evangelical political program in 2012 has anything to do with what Jesus intended is beyond false
There was a time when I might have had a voice in all this but today all I have is the power of a word here and thereThe mainline Protestant churches have undergone decline not merely for demographic reasonsThey have lost a theological centerThey have become consumed with survival and balkanized around "interest theologies"There is no leadershipThere is no prophetic voiceThere is a passive yielding of the field to the likes of Franklin Graham
If there is any Protestant leadership left they should at least condemn Franklin Graham
Billy Graham's son sparks controversy with TV interview - Local News - Charlotte, NC - msnbc.com: 
"“I think you are going to have to ask President Obama,” Graham replied. “I think people have to ask Barack Obama. He’s come out saying that he’s a Christian. The question is, what is a Christian?”
When pressed on the question a second time, Graham said, “I cannot answer that question for anybody….I accept him at what he says. If says he’s a Christian, I accept that. I’m not going to say he’s not.”
But while Graham was hesitant to opine about Obama, he had no issues with saying Republican Presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are Christian."
