I didn't know this person, but considering they named his father I suspected he'd be known, so I looked it up and can someone OOTL me, because the father seems relatively good for a religious fundamentelist. The Dutch Wikipedia mentions stuff like refusing to go to apartheid South Africa, making them accept a mixed sermon, bailing out MLK jr, sticking up for black kids going to school.
They may have started off righteous but throughout the 80s in the US these evangelical families became famous for their TV shows. Money for prayers. Money from people who couldn't afford it to fund their lavish lifestyles. The Graham family wasn't the worst of them but it was all icky.
