Saying Goodbye to 'Touched by an Angel'
Recently, the landmark series ended its nine-year run. But it leaves behind a powerful legacy.

For all of its shortcomings, Touched by an Angel will go down as a groundbreaking television series—one that stretched the boundaries of what could be said and portrayed about religion on network TV. And one, I believe, that delivered healing, encouragement, and hope to millions and millions of yearning souls.
So what that it never talked about Jesus directly or laid out the classic plan of salvation. In the end, Touched by an Angel probably will have done more for getting the Good News to the world than any other prime-time network show. And that is a gift from God.
