Christian Yichud

At the beginning of an otherwise uninteresting column, Newsweek's religion reporter Lisa Miller relays a great story about legendary preacher, Billy Graham:

Billy Graham had a rule. He was a powerful man, away from his
wife and
children more often than he was with them. Aware of the
significance of his
reputation and convinced of the moral value of the
Gospel message, he took
precautions to guard against his own human weakness.
He gave his ministry
colleagues explicit instructions: never leave me alone
in a room with a
woman who is not my wife.
