Megachurch Leader D. James Kennedy Dies

MIAMI (AP) - The Rev. D. James Kennedy, a pioneering Christian broadcaster and megachurch pastor whose fiercely conservative worldview helped fuel the rise of the religious right in American politics, died Wednesday. He was 76.
Kennedy died at his home in Fort Lauderdale from complications of a heart attack he suffered on Dec. 28, according to Kristin Cole, a spokeswoman for Kennedy's Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. He had not been seen publicly since the heart attack, and his retirement was announced Aug. 26.
Kennedy's voice and face were known to millions through radio and television broadcasts, urging Christians to evangelize in their daily lives, while condemning homosexuality and abortion as assaults on the traditional family. His also preached on the major policy issues of the day, rejecting evolution and global warming.
Kennedy was influential in the founding of the religious right, but did so more often from behind the scenes, as attention focused on his allies, the Revs. Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.

That's a terrible thing to say Dan. Bad form and timing

Said of course TIC ... it was a pre-emptive strike ... as to get to the heart of the matter ... since these type threads usually end up w/ my friends on the conservative side stating so.

As a 'reformed' Christian I am sad for his family and happy that his struggle is over. He was a fine Christian gentleman and witness.

Though my reformation is a work in progress, and not past tense, I do agree.

I didn't know he was a presbyterian...I don't think there are too many on TV are there? I always thought he was methodist, I suppose because he wears robes like Shuller does
