Page "Moral Majority" Paragraph 5

The Moral Majority ’ s headquarters were in Lynchburg, Virginia, the same city where Falwell was the presiding minister of the nation ’ s largest independent Baptist church, Thomas Road Baptist Church.

Virginia has been a seat of Christian Right politics, being the state where the Christian Coalition ’ s first headquarters were established.

Falwell was at the head of the Moral Majority and maintained an advisory board, constituting the organization ’ s primary leadership.

This leadership was drawn heavily from Falwell ’ s fellow members of the Baptist Bible Fellowship.

Falwell insisted the Moral Majority leadership also include Catholics and Jews, although not all members of the leadership approved of this inclusion.
