In Memoriam: Jerry Falwell

Jerry Falwell passed away Tuesday, bringing to a close the story of a man who has uplifted our nation for over 50 years. Falwell was known as a man of faith and strong convictions, often running afoul of various women's groups, homosexual groups, and other groups representing malcontents and subversives in the United States. While this controversy may linger, Falwell's message and his legacy are of peace and understanding.

Many biographies have been and will be written about Jerry Falwell. Attempts will be made to understand and distill this wise and righteous man into descriptive paragraphs. On this third day of national mourning, let us not stoop to such crude biographies. Instead, let us celebrate the man in his own words. Let us take a journey through the inspirational statements and musings of Jerry Falwell.
