Six Weeks to Save the World

[Toneboy]

Bookmarking this for myself really, is on iPlayer (for anyone in the UK) for about another three weeks or so.

Show details:

In 1955 US evangelist Billy Graham arrived on an 'All Scotland Crusade' aimed at saving the country for Christianity.

During the Cold War, amidst great austerity and mounting agnosticism, Graham arrived like a Christian Elvis and wowed more than a million people during a six-week residency at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall and major stadium events at Hampden, Ibrox and Tynecastle football grounds.

Six Weeks to Save the World tells the story of Graham's crusade through the eyes of the people who were there and the cameras which followed him.

Tony thank you for this. I have just listened to all the clips
It was such a blessing. Loved when he said he was not afraid of dying, it was just a change of address.

I was brought up Catholic and we were not allowed a bible in those days. One afternoon I watched Billy Grahan on the tv. It was because of him that I eas desperate to get a bible. (1972 ).
We need another Billy Graham.

Yes we do, but most of all we need Jesus insight & wisdom to be what He called us to be.

I can't know about your personal circumstances but as a general point that is untrue. I went to a Catholic school and we had religious education lessons where we used the Bible. Every pupil had one and that was in the 1950's. My parents had a Bible at home.

We all had a Catachism but no one in our school had a bible. The mass was said in Latin, except for one verse from that gospel and one verse from the epistles.

I am not the only one who had this experience.

You went to a very unusual school then. It was not my experience.

And your claim "I was brought up Catholic and we were not allowed a bible in those days" is completely false. No-one was banned from having a Bible.

I do nit tell lies.
That is how it was for us

Here is an interesting fact for you; Protestants in England banned the reading of the Bible. An act of Parliament in 1543 "forbade altogether the reading of scripture in private by "women… artificers, prentices, journeymen, serving men of the degrees of yeomen or under, husbandmen or labourers.", though noble and gentlewomen might read the Bible in private. Persistent clerical offenders against this Act might be burned, laymen were subject to forfeiture of goods and perpetual imprisonment.”
(Eamon Duffy, The Stripping of the Altars pp432-433)
