Falwell used political funds for ministries
The Associated Press
LYNCHBURG, Va. — The Rev. Jerry Falwell went before his parishioners yesterday and said he did nothing wrong by taking more than $6.7 million in donations to his political groups and spending it on his religious ministries.
Internal Revenue Service regulations do not prohibit such transfers unless the recipient of the funds has misled the donor.
The News & Daily Advance newspaper reported yesterday that, over a three-year period, a total of 60,727,734 was taken from Fallwell's Moral Majority and Liberty Federation and given to the Thomas Road Baptist Church and his other ministries.
"Every penny that was ever given to this ministry was used for just as it was designated," Falwell told an audience at Thomas Rood Reed Church.
The News & Daily Advance said it had obtained information on the fund transfers through three months of interviews with Fallwell and with federal and state agencies.
federal and state agencies.
"We gave a full disclosure to the
Lynchburg newspaper," Falwell told his parishioners, "I think it is something that is overdue for all the ministries."
The newspaper quoted Falwell as saying he thought most donors "are giving because I signed the letter (seeking funds). They could care less if the project was being administered by whatever arms of the Jerry Falwell ministry enterprise."
He added, however, that some of those who contributed to his political groups would not have given directly to his religious organizations. Fallowell's religious ministries include the church, the Old-Time Gospel Hour television program, Liberty University. Liberty Broadcasting Network and Lynchburg Christian Academy.
The Liberty Federation, which Falwell introduced in January 1986, technically was a name change for the Moral Majority Foundation, which was created alongside the Moral Majority in 1979 to serve as its educational arm.
When the Moral Majority was created, Falwell said the lobbying group would be separate from his religious ministry.
