The Rev. Jerry Falwell speaks at the SBC Pastors' Conference on June 20, 2005, in Nashville. The church Falwell started in an abandoned bottling plant in 1956 grew into a religious empire that includes the 22,000-member Thomas Road Baptist Church, television's the "Old Time Gospel Hour" and 7,700-student Liberty University. He built Christian elementary schools, homes for unwed mothers and a home for alcoholics.
