Falwell, Jerry L.(born 1933, Lynchburg, Va., U.S.—died May 15, 2007, Lynchburg) Protestant evangelist. An engineering student before turning to religion, he founded Thomas Road Baptist Church in 1956 and Lynchburg Baptist College (later Liberty University) in 1971. His Old-Time Gospel Hour television show served as outreach for his church. In 1979 he organized the Moral Majority to encourage his followers to become involved in politics; he withdrew from its leadership in 1990 to return to preaching. A fundamentalist interpreter of the Bible, Falwell was known for his sometimes extreme conservatism. How to thank TFD for its existence?
