The host city for the Democratic National Convention is not a particularly political place. Charlotte, N.C., is known for three things: banking, NASCAR and religion.
And when it comes to religion, Billy Graham’s spirit looms large….
“Religion still drives the town, though not as much as it used to,” said Ken Garfield, former religion editor of The Charlotte Observer and now communications director for the city’s Myers Park United Methodist Church.
[blockquote] “People ask, ‘What are you going to do with all those Democrats in town?’†said David Hains, communications director for the Diocese of Charlotte. “Well, we’re going to pray.â€[/blockquote]
