Here is another story about Stephen's involvement told by Michael Breen: "By chance, I was in Pyongyang in 1992 when he visited in response to North Korea's early outreach to bury the hatchet with Washington. The legendary American preacher spoke at the one Protestant church in the country. This congregation was permitted by the dictatorship to pose as Christian so the country could claim respect for religious freedom, link up with dissidents in South Korea, and encourage donations from well-meaning co-religionists overseas. Billy Graham could have giddily accepted the flock as bona fide Christian. He could have righteously accused them of deception. But he took a third position. In a perfectly nuanced and graciously delivered sermon, he simply taught them Christianity 101. His delivery, and the fluid translation in the pauses by Stephen Linton, the prominent aid worker, was flawless. North Korea wasn't liberated the next day, but you knew this perfect duet touched some hearts in a way they will never forget." http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2008/03/137_20240.html "Would You Know My Name?", The Korea Times, 6 March 2008.
