Evangelist Graham Is Made Honorary Knight
From Times Wire Reports
For a lifetime of contributions to religious life, evangelist Billy Graham was made an honorary knight of the British Empire, one of the highest tributes bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II.
The ceremony was conducted among Graham’s friends and family at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., by Ambassador Sir Christopher Meyer.
The honorary knighthood status comes without most of the trappings of medieval chivalry. Graham will not be called “Sir” but will be able to write the initials “KBE” after his name.
