Garner Ted Armstrong

Garner Ted Armstrong  (February 9, 1930 – September 15, 2003) was an American evangelist and the son of Herbert W. Armstrong, founder of the Worldwide Church of God, at the time a Sabbatarian organization that taught observance of seventh-day Sabbath, and annual Sabbath days based on Leviticus 23.  Armstrong initially became recognized when he succeeded his father as the voice of The World Tomorrow, the church’s radio program that aired around the world.  A television program of the same name followed, aired mostly in North America, eventually giving way to a Garner Ted Armstrong broadcast, a half-hour program that mixed news and biblical commentary.  His polemical message was unlike that of most other religious broadcasters of his day.  (More from Wikipedia)
