I don't think its a snub - Billy Graham is 90 afterall (and needs a walker) so I would think its moreso due to health. Although this is hardly publicized, Billy Graham believed in a message of Christ for all people and worked with Martin Luther King Jr. and others in the civil rights movement in softening the hearts of those that felt otherwise.
