American evangelist Billy Graham -- who met and prayed with every American president from Harry Truman to Barack Obama during the last six decades -- this week acknowledged regret at crossing the line between ministry and politics, according to the Ecumenical News International website.
Graham, 92, said he "would have steered clear of politics," without mentioning his friendship with the late Richard Nixon.
"Looking back, I know I sometimes crossed the line, and I wouldn't do that now," said Graham, who has rarely been seen in public in recent years due to his frail health.
Regarding the global evangelical movement, Graham said he was "grateful for the evangelical resurgence we've seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God's doing."
