...turn, took notice. Says Michael Maudlin, editorial director at Christianity Today: "Even Billy says she's the best preacher in the family." ("I agree," says Franklin.) Yet the plaudit carried an asterisk. At a 1988 pastors' conference, many in Lotz's audience ostentatiously turned their chairs around so as not to face a preaching woman. Says Martin: "There was no chance of her taking [the leadership] role in the BGEA hierarchy because she's the daughter instead of the son."

He apparently underwent a denominational transformation after a spiritual encounter with Billy Graham, an evangelist preacher whose vision of Hell is a world in which he does not get to play golf with the President. It's unclear whether Steve Forbes will continue his financial support of an effort to persuade members of his own congregation to abandon Planned Parenthood and blockade an abortion clinic with...
