Editor’s Note from August 26, 1977

We interviewed Billy Graham recently. The first question we asked had to do with the use of funds by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the foundation Mr. Graham set up a few years ago.

My article on Taiwan appears in this issue. Strong forces are trying to force the United States to break diplomatic relations with Taiwan and establish them with Red China. Morally and ethically it would be a highly questionable decision, especially since President Carter professes to be a Christian who lives by the ethic of the Scriptures. For the United States to break its pledged word would be most unfortunate.
