The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association confirmed on Tuesday that it had removed all references to Mormonism as a “cult” from its website after their founder announced his support of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
The New Civil Rights Movement first noticed last week that “Mormons” had disappeared from the list of groups that were considered cults shortly following Graham’s promise to Romney that that he would “do all I can to help you.”
“A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith,” the website reportedly said prior to last week. “It is very important that we recognize cults and avoid any involvement with them. Cults often teach some Christian truth mixed with error, which may be difficult to detect.”
“Some of these groups are Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spiritists, Scientologists, and others,” the site warned.
In a statement published by The Washington Post on Wednesday, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association chief of staff Ken Barun explained the decision to scrub the website.
