(USA)–And, Franklin Graham is now more closely following in the footsteps of his father. The younger Graham has been appointed president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. This follows the retirement of John Corts, who stepped down after 35 years with the organization. Despite his role in the BGEA, Franklin will also remain the president of Samaritan’s Purse, an international evangelistic relief organization.
