RE: [asa] James Kennedy

This quote jumped out at me from the Washington Post article:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/05/AR200709
0502441.html?hpid=sec-religion

He urged his evangelical followers to act out their beliefs in the
political arena, and his influence could sometimes be divisive. When his
church announced last week that Dr. Kennedy would not return to the
pulpit -- he preached his final sermon Christmas Eve -- the Rev. Harold
McSwain, pastor of a United Church of Christ in Fort Lauderdale, told
the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "I've had to deal with a lot of wounded
people coming to me in tears and in anger because of the kind of hate he
fosters."

I wouldn't want that a part of my obituary.

I have just heard that James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries has died.
I

believe that some of his statements about creation were the subject of
one

thread on this list some time ago.
