The Billy Graham Library is a public museum and library documenting the life and ministry of Christian evangelist Billy Graham. The complex opened to the public on June 5, 2007. The library is located on the grounds of the international headquarters of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte, North Carolina, a few miles from where Graham was reared. The library is styled after a dairy barn, with a mechanical "talking" cow, to reflect Graham's farm-based childhood. The main galleries within the library showcase numerous presentations, pictures, music, artifacts, and voices from throughout Graham's ministry. One gallery is entirely devoted to Ruth Bell Graham, the late wife of the evangelist. There is a dairy bar café and bookstore called "Ruth's Attic." All visitors enter the Library through doors at the base of a glass cross. Also located on the Library grounds is the Prayer Garden, where Ruth Graham was buried on June 17, 2007. Ruth Graham opposed being buried there, and instead preferred her home in the mountains to be her final resting place until just before she died.〔http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/12/AR2006121201338.html〕 In March 2009 Wilma "Billie" Barrows the wife of Billy Graham's Longtime Music Director Cliff Barrows was interred on the Library grounds. In April 2013 Gospel Singer George Beverly Shea was interred there as well. == See also == * List of Billy Graham's crusades * (Ruth's Attic at the Billy Graham Bookstore ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Billy Graham Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
