Jerry Falwell Dead at 73
By Mimi Rothschild
So says CNN. One of the most recognizeable, controversial, and influential evangelical Christians of our time, Jerry Falwell played a large role in the mobilization of modern Christianity towards political efforts. In other words, he made religion a political platform.
We at The Southern Baptist Academy would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to the Falwell family as well as to the larger family of Christians in Lynchburg, VA. He was surely a well-loved and highly admired man.
He was not admired by all, largely due to his steadfast devotion to traditional family values and outspoken criticism of the moral relativism of the Left. Rev. Falwell has surely made his mark on modern American Christianity. As such, it has been said that he was a lightening rod for his beliefs. May we all express the same moral steadfastness that this great church leader showed throughout life.
