Swaggart thanks supporters, vows to continue ministry
The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. - Television evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who stepped down from his pulpit after allegations of immoral conduct with a prostitute erupted, thanked members of all religions yesterday for their support during "the darkest week" he has experienced.
During a brief appearance in front of his congregation at the Jimmy Swaggart World Ministries center, Swaggart thanked about 4,000 worshiners for their support.
"I'll never have the words to express to you how much that I care, my concern for you, and my thanksgiving," he said. "If it hadn't been for you, we would not have made it. It's just that plain and simple."
Swaggart, who last week confessed to unspecified sins, reportedly paid a prostitute to pose naked and tried to make a deal with a minister who confronted him about it.
"That is what is so beautiful about it . . . not only Pentecostal, but Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans and Catholic. . . Even my Muslim friends, I'm serious, have called and said, 'We love you, we pray for you,' " Swaggart said.
Although Swaggart again did not specify his sin, he said he had received the love and prayers of members of various denominations and religious groups.
Swaggart, who on Saturday received support and sympathy from presidential candidate Pat Robertson, a former television evangelist, said his worldwide ministry would continue.

Louisiana church officials have recommended barring Swaggart from preaching for three months, but national denomination officials asked for reconsideration after receiving hundreds of calls protesting that the penalty was too lenient.

A TRIBUTE TO THE KU KLUX KLAN
In a prepared statement released on February 15th, Kansas University Chancellor Budig admits that the "Suppression of views, however bizarre or repugnant, has no place on a university campus . . . (as this) practice would violate the spirit of academic freedom and the letter of the law." Because we agree with Chancellor Budig, some of us don't understand how he can claim, in the February 19th Journal-World, that Kansas University's "academic integrity has not been compromised" by its decision to cancel the imminent visit to campus of two of an indisputably "bizarre and repugnant" organization's members.
After thanking "the leadership of the black community in Lawrence" for its vigorous opposition to the planned campus visit of these Ku Klux Klansmen, KU Executive Vice Chancellor Judith Rameley says: "We look forward to working with the community to assure that extremism does not take root in Lawrence."
Of what are Chancellor Budig, Vice Chancellor Rameley and many black community leaders afraid? While each Klansman, by joining an organization which has whipped, beaten kidnapped, mutilated or murdered many of its perceived opponents, is expressing his approval of and resultant willingness to employ such tactics, the one situation in which none of these chaps could bully is an open discussion. A prolonged exchange with these philosophic fossils, who also hate Roman Catholics, Jews, foreigners and organized labour, could only reveal them to be uninformed misanthropes.
Because some probably will believe J. Allen Moran, one of the invited Klansmen, when he says of the timid Kansas University bureaucracy, "They fear our message, not violence. We are fifth-generation Klan . . . We fight with the truth, not fists," the Feb. 18th Kansas City Star tells us the other invitee, Dennis Mahon thinks: "Pretty soon . . . thanks to the black ministers . . . we're going to have a Kansas chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in the Lawrence area."
