It was with sadness that the EMU community learned on Tuesday, May 15 of the sudden and unexpected death of the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
“Despite our differences on some theological issues as noted in the BBC coverage of U.S. evangelical church response to reported climate change, the EMU community is saddened by this news,” said President Loren E. Swartzendruber.
“We lift up the Liberty University community, as well as Rev. Falwell’s family and friends, in prayer at this difficult time, and extend our condolences as a sister university from Virginia.”
Rev. Falwell and Liberty University were recently featured along with Dr. Swartzendruber and EMU in a BBC News report on global warming and evangelicalism.
