LIVE: Graham Was "Right Man at Right Time," Says Council of Churches' Anderson

Reverend Dr. Don Anderson with the Rhode Island State Council of Churches joined GoLocal News Editor Kate Nagle in studio to discuss the passing of American evangelical leader Billy Graham at the age of 99. 

Anderson spoke to Graham's legacy of bringing varied religions together, instituting best practices for fiscal management for churches, and speaking in what Anderson said was plain language in a way that appealed to a broad audience.

Anderson also spoke to the more darker elements of Graham's legacy, including tapes of anti-Semitic remarks with President Nixon -- and how Anderson sees Graham's son as shunning his father's inclusive nature to be exclusionary of non-Christian religions.
