Our greatest value is to reproduce ourselves in the lives of others. When you leave behind a vibrant Christian who knows his calling and his commission, you can be buried, but you will live on through all those in whom you have been reproduced.

Jerry Falwell
Jerry Falwell (1933–2007) war ein US-amerikanischer baptistischer Pastor, Televangelist und Gründer der Thomas Road Baptist Church sowie der Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Als Mitbegründer der Organisation „Moral Majority“ mobilisierte er konservative Christen für die Bundespolitik und löste durch scharf polarisierende Äußerungen zu gesellschaftlichen Minderheiten und Krisen wiederholt schwere Kontroversen aus. Für heutige Bibelleser steht sein Wirken exemplarisch für die enge, oft umstrittene Verknüpfung von theologischem Fundamentalismus mit parteipolitischem Aktivismus.
