Recording. Christian Crusade recruitment

              Billy James Hargis (1925-2004) received a degree in theology from Burton College and Seminary in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He served as a pastor to a couple of churches before becoming pastor of the First Christian Church in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, in 1948. From there, he founded the Christian Echoes Hour radio. In 1950, he resigned to create a national ministry, the Christian Crusade Against Communism. His decision was pursued by the production of programs that ran on hundreds television and radio stations. However, his career was full of controversy. Not only was he an anti-communist, he was also a supporter of racial segregation, and reputedly held anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic views. Even so, he launched an attack on sex education programs in 1968, just to be accused in 1974 of sexual relations with students at his college.
