JERRY FALWELL, AN
INSPIRING CHRISTIAN
LEADER AND A GREAT AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Jerry Falwell, the
television evangelist, Moral Majority founder, and long-time leader
in the conservative movement, died today at the age of 73. Media
Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following
statement about Rev. Falwell:
“Rev. Jerry Falwell gave his heart and soul to his family, his
faith and his country. This is obvious when one looks at the decades
of work he completed to grow his ministry, nurture his university,
and advance the conservative movement throughout the culture and in
politics.
“Rev. Falwell was a great leader who helped organize grassroots
conservatives across America, and who was instrumental in the
presidential election of Ronald Reagan. His inspiring presence and
moral insight will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are
with his family and closest friends. May God bless them and Jerry
Falwell.”
