Today We Feature Kathryn Kuhlman and Dr. Bill Bright as Two “Who Radically Changed Our World”

Steve Strang shares his perspective.

In our online celebration of Charisma’s 40th anniversary, we are each day publishing two of the leaders we featured in our August 2015 issue as “40 People Who Radically Changed Our World.” Today we feature Kathryn Kuhlman and Dr. Bill Bright.

Sunday I wrote my Perspective column about how I interviewed Miss Kuhlman for the cover story of our second issue. I felt it had enough historical significance as one of the last articles written about her before she died in 1976 that we published it yesterday. If you missed it click here.

The other leader we featured was Dr. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, who died in 2003.  

Even though he was at one time opposed to speaking in tongues, Bright softened over the years. While theologically he was never “charismatic,” he was full of the Spirit. He emphasized fasting and prayer and made a huge impact on our culture and the evangelical church.

Over the years he became a friend of Charisma and wrote for us several times. In 1991, Campus Crusade for Christ moved its world headquarters to Orlando, Florida, not far from the Charisma headquarters. Bright addressed the staff once and was a guest in my home for an event we sponsored in his honor.

All month in August we are celebrating Charisma’s anniversary. Beginning today we are focusing on that first decade—1975 to 1985.

We won’t simply report on history. We will be sharing insights on what happened in each of the four decades. For some who lived it with us, it will bring back memories! For a younger generation, it will give you understanding of what God has done and hopefully bless you as we reprint some of our best articles from the past.
