RALEIGH,
N.C. (AP) - The Rev. Billy Graham urged North Carolina voters Wednesday
to support an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage,
a move that an observer said was highly unusual but another said was in
keeping with the minister’s moral beliefs.
"Watching the moral
decline of our country causes me great concern," said Graham, 93, who
lives near Asheville. "I believe the home and marriage is the foundation
of our society and must be protected."
His complete statement
about Amendment One will be part of full-page ads slated to appear in 14
North Carolina newspapers throughout the weekend.
Graham’s
statement was issued by the Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association, which is led by Graham’s son, the Rev. Franklin Graham.
Franklin Graham recorded a message last month in support of Amendment
One, which is on the ballot in the election Tuesday.
"At 93, I
never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage," Billy
Graham’s statement said. "The Bible is clear - God’s definition of
marriage is between a man and a woman. I want to urge my fellow North
Carolinians to vote for the marriage amendment" Tuesday.
William
Martin, who wrote the authorized Graham biography "A Prophet With
Honor," couldn’t recall another effort by the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association like the one the ministry plans in support of Amendment One.
