About eight years ago he became a born-again christian. Three years ago, I spoke with someone who had attended the Global Futures Conference, in Toronto. This person had gone to a panel on the "World Food Problem'. The man had seen that Graham Kerr was one of the panelists, but there were other people on the panel, and they might prove interesting, and after all it is a very important issue, so he went anyway. Well, not only was Graham Kerr a born-again christian, but so were all the other panelists. Apparently their solution to the world food problem was that everyone should welcome christ into their hearts, become a born-again christian, have a personal relationship with the lord, and practice christian charity. Now why didn't anyone think of that before? I suspect that either he gave up his show when he was reborn, or, that without that slightly risque streak in him, he lost his audience. No doubt he is comfortably ensconced on the born-again christian lecture circuit. Geo Swan, Integrated Studies, University of Waterloo
