Note: This list has been laundered by Freemasonry. Billy Graham is no longer on the list at the Masonic page which was our source page (see link below).
Anyone posting the original list in the USA will likely be threatened by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association with a lawsuit. Kindly copy this list and be ready to post it if we also are threatened. Keep it moving around the world.
