Is Gorbachev a Christian?


On Sunday I closed my sermon with the amazing story that former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has been a closet Christian for years, putting into a new light his 1989 meeting with Pope John Paul II.

Here are two links: one to the Chicago Tribune and a second to the UK Telegraph.

(I'll embed those when I am not a safari browser. )

Clearly, we need to stay tuned for more information.

UPDATE: Looks like we have more information, and he is not a Christian. Oh well, it was interesting while it lasted.
