Archdiocese links up with Billy Graham Crusade  
By Ellie Hidalgo 

Most Catholics wouldn't automatically think that the
upcoming Billy Graham Crusade would be a windfall for
Catholic evangelization. 

But in an ecumenically spirited agreement between
Crusade organizers and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles,
participants in the Crusade who commit themselves to
Christ and self-identify as Catholic on a registration
card will have their names forwarded to the
archdiocese. 

"[Crusade organizers] want to be open to bringing
people to Christ and that means Catholics as well.
They approached us and we have a marvelous agreement
with them," said Father Alexei Smith, Ecumenical and
Interreligious Officer for the archdiocese.
