At the recent passing of Rev. Jerry Falwell, many of us in the conservative movement are given pause to consider his life. The Rev. Falwell was like any person, with faults and talents, virtues and vices. You could never doubt his passion and love of the Lord, and the Christian Coalition is unforgettably grateful to him for his legacy of perseverance in encouraging Christians to have a voice in their government and an active interest in promoting sound leaders and legislation.

Although there were times when we questioned his approach, nevertheless he has had a powerful impact on America that will not be forgotten. We will continue to be in prayer for Rev. Falwell’s family.
