And last week at Paul's Mall, with the help of his six-man back-up band, his music entwined the sounds of country blues, gospel, jazz, rhythm and blues and reggae.

Noting that more than 200 African, Asian and Latin American boards are now sending out missionaries of their own to spread the gospel, Graham said: "It is our opportunity to help these new societies to channel missionaries into countries where we as Westerners cannot now go." The exclusion of Westerners and the tottering of old political orders should be considered a challenge, said Graham. "We must capitalize on the spirit of unrest and change...
