Billy Graham’s magazine calls for Trump’s ouster

No, Christianity Today isn’t going bankrupt.

“Despite backlash from major evangelical leaders, Christianity Today editor-in-chief Mark Galli said in an interview Sunday that the outlet saw an increase in subscribers after it published a controversial and unexpected op-ed calling for President Donald Trump to be impeached and removed from office.”

As for ‘straying too far from Billy Graham’s position’, I think his son, Franklin Graham is the one who is straying from his father’s position.

Remembering the evangelist to millions after his death at age 99

“ASKED IN LATER YEARS if there was anything he would have done differently, Graham said he would have “steered clear of politics.” 
.......
“In 2011, he told Christianity Today (which he and his father-in-law, Nelson Bell, founded in 1956 in Washington, D.C.): “I was grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.”

“But looking back,” Graham said, “I know I sometimes crossed the line, and I wouldn’t do that now.”

Yes, it is old news. It was published on December 19, 2019 — over 20 days ago.
OH... THE HUMANITY… A STATEMENT FROM NEARLY THREE WEEKS AGO !!!!!
And that poor writer who lost his job three weeks ago. What kind of Christmas did he have with his family?

It’s true. Mark Galli, the Editor-in-Chief who wrote the editorial, is no longer with the magazine. He had decided last August that Jan 3, 2020 would be his last day. He didn’t feel the need to write the editorial until after the end of the House Impeachment Hearings, so neither writing the editorial nor the backlash from it motivated his decision.

As for Franklin Graham’s comments about how his father, Billy Graham, voted: Franklin crossed a line that he shouldn’t have when he pulled his late father’s name into a political argument. In an interview shortly before his death, Dr. Graham said, “... if there was anything he would have done differently, Graham said he would have “steered clear of politics.” It’s an insult to his father’s memory and integrity to drag his name into a political dispute after his death.
