LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Rev. Jerry Falwell was hospitalized in "gravely serious" condition after being found unconscious in his office Tuesday, a Liberty University executive said.

Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Falwell's Liberty University, said Falwell was found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but "he has a history of heart challenges."

"I had breakfast with him, and he was fine at breakfast," Godwin said. "He went to his office, I went to mine and they found him unresponsive."

Godwin said Falwell was receiving emergency care. A hospital spokeswoman said she had "no information to release at this time" on Falwell

Just got word here in Houston as it is all over the national news.

We are praying for him and the entire TRBC/Liberty community right now.

The news sounds very serious, but as we saw in his last instance we are dealing with a man who is a fighter and has plenty to live for even at his age.

I think most of us have those concerns. But in deference to the Falwell family, let's respect their privacy.

But then again, we had similar word back at his last instance. So perhaps it is best to wait confirmation.

TRBC at 2pm. There will be a service for the TRBC and LU families. I'd go if I could. If you can, you should be there.
