Bright, William Rohl
▪ 2004

      American religious leader (b. Oct. 19, 1921, Coweta, Okla.—d. July 19, 2003, Orlando, Fla.), founded Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951 and transformed it from a college-based organization into the world's largest Christian ministry. A former self-described “happy pagan,” he also wrote The Four Spiritual Laws (1956), a condensed version of the Christian message that became the most widely distributed religious booklet in the world. In 1996 he won the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.
