The Billy Graham Rule

The Billy Graham Rule refers to a personal guideline set by the renowned evangelist Billy Graham, which states that he would avoid any situation where he might be alone with a woman who was not his wife. This principle aims to maintain personal integrity, avoid temptation, and protect reputations. It emphasizes accountability in relationships, especially in a professional context, and seeks to prevent misunderstandings or inappropriate situations. While it is a widely recognized approach among some in conservative circles, opinions on its practicality and relevance vary in contemporary discussions about professional conduct and gender relations.
