Falwell died a week ago after collapsing in his office at Liberty University. He was 73. Falwell founded the university in 1971 and became a force in Republican politics in the 1980s, organising the conservative Christian vote to send Ronald Reagan to the White House. No Republican presidential candidates attended the event. But the White House sent mid-level aide, Kim Goeglein, a special assistant to US President George W. Bush, to attend the funeral service. "Jerry Falwell was a great friend of this administration, and he was a force of nature," Goeglein said. "He preoccupied himself with the rising generation of young people. He was very interested in the moral formation of this generation. And I have to say that in all my time in the White House, I have never met a man who loved god and country more than Jerry Falwell." Other conservative leaders attending included the Reverend Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham. "People have asked me, Franklin, did you agree with Jerry Falwell? Every time he opened a bible, I agreed with Jerry Falwell," Graham said. Falwell's physician said he had a heart condition and presumably died of a heart rhythm abnormality. Over four days, more than 33,000 people had viewed the body of a man who was vilified as much as he was admired. A private burial is scheduled on the grounds of Liberty University near a former mansion where Falwell's office was located. The funeral returned Falwell to his roots - the Thomas Road Baptist Church, where he started as a young preacher in 1956 with just 35 parishioners in an old abandoned soda bottling plant. Today, his son Jonathan Falwell leads the Thomas Road Baptist, and the sanctuary seats 6,000. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Falwell said that abortionists, feminists, gays and others "have tried to secularise America ... helped this happen."
