New Billy Graham tributes launched

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — On Aug. 20 the permanent Sirius XM channel dedicated exclusively to messages from “America’s Pastor” will launch, providing messages by Billy Graham 24 hours a day on Channel 460 and online.

The Billy Graham Channel began a series of limited runs last November, beginning with Graham’s 99th birthday, and included a temporary tribute channel in conjunction with Graham’s death. The channel is a response to listeners who contacted his ministry, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and Sirius XM requesting continued broadcasts of Graham’s messages.

Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., opened an exhibit on Aug. 5 to honor the late evangelist and give visitors a glimpse of his impact on the world. “Pilgrim Preacher: Billy Graham, and the Challenges of the Modern World” will be on display for museum visitors through Jan. 29, 2019. The exhibit includes rare video footage, photographs and artifacts to help tell the story of how Graham became a leading evangelical presence in the world. (BP)
