The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Wednesday that the association's website has deleted an article from its website that listed Mormonism as a cult.

 

Graham chief of staff Ken Barun said the article was removed because the association did not wish to stoke a theological debate about something that had become politicized during the presidential campaign.

 

Romney visited the 93-year-old evangelist and his son, Franklin Graham, last week in Montreat prior to holding a campaign rally in nearby Asheville. The younger Graham has previously refused to say whether he thinks Romney is a Christian.
