A week and a half after Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced his investigation of six prominent television ministries, Charisma magazine editor J. Lee Grady has written a column defending the “good Senator” and pointing out that he is an “outspoken evangelical Christian” who has attended the same Baptist church since 1954 and that he previously conducted investigations of secular nonprofits including the American Red Cross and the Smithsonian Institution.
Meanwhile, Time magazine’s online edition noted that the December issue of Grady’s magazine features a photo of GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee with Kenneth Copeland, a leader of one of the six ministries under investigation. In an e-mail message to the magazine, Huckabee stands by Copeland saying the Texas minister and his wife, Gloria, are “about the most gracious, authentic, and humble people I know and I consider them dear friends.”
