Jerry Falwell Catholics

Liberty University is the school started in 1971 by Baptist pastor Jerry Falwell. It is described as an independent fundamentalist Baptist college.

I was very pleased, therefore to hear from a student at Liberty telling me about a group he has started called Catholics at Liberty. Chris was good enough to write these few words for the blog about his story and his work there.

It is hard to believe that I have been a student at Liberty University for two and a half years now. And that this May I will be graduating! I transferred to Liberty after my freshman year because I wanted to study for the Baptist Ministry. After being at Liberty only a few months I soon realized what I was missing in my life was the Eucharist!

Flannery O'Connor is a well known Southern fiction writer of the Catholic faith, and when a Liberty group toured her hometown of Milledgeville, Georgia, we visited her farmhouse, her grave, and even attended her Catholic church that Sunday morning before heading back to Lynchburg. It was the first time that I or most of the people in our group had ever attended a Catholic church. The church knew we were from Liberty and nevertheless welcomed us to be part of their service.

Just curious, but is it "okay" for a picture of Dr. Falwell to be posted on this blog?

Chris Osgood
I am a senior at Liberty University and am studying religion. I hope to enter the seminary after this school year to become a Catholic Priest.

Sounds like an excuse for having a hard time finding a date.

Recently I have enjoyed studying the life and writing of Thomas Merton. And Henri Nouwen's writings are some of my favorites. It is ok for us to share Christ together. He likes it when we do that.

I have known Chris for a couple of years now. I actually lived on a hall with him my sophomore year, his freshman year. He is a great guy with an extreme desire to serve the Lord. I look forward to see where he goes because with ambition like his there is no tellin where he might end up.

yeah Chris is a great guy! I disagree with some of the things the Catholic Church teaches. But I still think he is passionate and will do a lot for the Kingdom of Christ.
