May 15, 2007
Accomplished leader had history of heart problems.
Jerry Falwell, an accomplished evangelist, pastor, educator, and political leader, has died. He was 73. Falwell had a history of heart problems, but officials have not yet confirmed the cause of death.
Comments
It will be interesting to see how the dominoes fall after Rev. falwell's passing.
Will his evangelical sub-group get a new leader? Or, will they disperse among the spectrum of other prominent (or soon-to-be-prominent) evangelical leaders?
The "Fallwell Diaspora"? Be well Ted & all. Talk w/ you again soon.

In the spirit of the good reverend's post-9/11 comments, I wonder what great sin he committed that caused God to strike him down like this.

As my daughter said, "He's in heaven, but right now God has him in time-out."
