Renowned evangelist Billy Graham is asking
Iran's president Hassan Rouhani for the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini from
prison, pointing out that such an action might be perceived by U.S. leaders as
a significant step in reducing tensions.
"On
September 26, the one-year anniversary of Pastor Abedini's imprisonment,
thousands will attend prayer vigils in more than 70 U.S. cities, calling on
your country to release this husband, father and servant of God,"
Graham
writes in a letter addressed to Rouhani and published on the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association website. "I join them by respectfully asking you
to release Pastor Saeed Abedini from prison. Such an action would, I believe,
have a positive impact in our nation, and might well be perceived by our
leadership as a significant step in reducing tensions."
