Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ Dies

Advertisements [?]

MIAMI -- William R. "Bill" Bright, the hard-driving entrepreneur and one-time "happy pagan" who founded Campus Crusade for Christ and watched it grow into a $374 million-a-year organization, has died. He was 81.

Bright died at his home in Orlando on Saturday from complications of pulmonary fibrosis, said Steve Chapman, a spokesman for Campus Crusade.

He had been suffering from the disease for several years.

Along with his famous friend, the Rev. Billy Graham, Bright helped energize America's evangelical Protestant movement after World War II.
