WASHINGTON, SEPT. 5, 2007
- Edwin J. Feulner, the president of The Heritage
Foundation, issued the following statement on the death of Dr. D.
James Kennedy, founder of Coral Ridge Ministries:
"Dr. Kennedy became
'pastor to the nation' by being, first and foremost, a pastor to
individuals. He touched the lives of millions of men, women
and children, and left each of them far better for the
experience. In him, Heritage found a strong ally in the cause
of restoring our nation to the values and principles that the
Founding Fathers held dear.
"The mission of The Heritage Foundation
and the heart and passion of Dr. Kennedy have much in common.
As we at Heritage mourn the passing of this visionary and
passionate leader, we renew our commitment to pursue our shared
goal of a reinvigorated civil society for America."
