Ties That Bind: Bush and LaHaye have a history, and share a sense of
mission
By Howard Fineman
Newsweek
May 24 issue - In 1974 an obscure 40-year-old Baptist minister from
Lynchburg, Va., traveled to California to preach in the church of a
popular pastor, the author of a Christian best seller about how faith
builds character. But when Jerry Falwell arrived at Tim LaHaye's San
Diego church, he had a lowercase revelation: LaHaye wasn't just a
lively preacher and writer, he was a powerful political operative.
LaHaye's organization, Californians for Biblical Morality, had
mobilized evangelical Christians and, in doing so, had helped elect
Ronald Reagan governor. "I realized I wanted to do the same thing on a
national basis," Falwell recalled in an interview with NEWSWEEK. "Tim
was my inspiration."
