A statue of the late Rev. Billy Graham has been unveiled at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, where it will stand on behalf of his native North Carolina
A bronzed sculpture of the late Rev. Billy Graham standing in the U.S. Capitol on behalf of his native North Carolina was unveiled at a Thursday ceremony, immortalizing temporally the prolific evangelist also known as “America's Pastor.' Graham's likeness, depicting the Charlotte-born minister with his archetypal gesture toward an open Bible in his hand, was revealed inside National Statuary Hall during a gathering attended by House Speaker Mike Johnson, Gov.
Rules say a person’s statue can only be installed posthumously. Ceremony speakers focused on Graham’s unwavering commitment to preaching the Christian gospel, his integrity and humility, and legacy for future generations. The Rev. Franklin Graham, the evangelist's son, said his father would have been uncomfortable with all of the attention had he been there Thursday, 'because he would want the focus to be on the one that he preached. He’d want the focus to be on the Lord Jesus Christ.
