Rev. Barry Lynn missed the point. Jerry Falwell was first a Christian, then he was a son and a husband and a father and a grandfather, and then he was a Minister of the Word and administrator of the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion. We ought to remember Falwell more for these things, and the fact that he showed many, many people the way to Jesus than the comparatively minor point Lynn raised.

Yes, Jerry Falwell did make himself heard in a variety of forums, which as a patriotic American, he had every right to do. To say otherwise reveals the falsity of the myth of "Separation of Chruch and State." I thank God that so public a figure as Jerry Falwell had the courage and the conviction to try to destroy that misinterpretation of our Constituion and the Bill of Rights.

Come on, Rev. Lynn! it was you who politicized the Rev. Dr. Jerry Falwell's death and entrance into the Church Triumphant, not any one else!

Grace to you and peace,
Rev. S.L.
