FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - A pioneering megachurch pastor and
a prominent Christian broadcaster has died in Fort Lauderdale.
The Reverend D. James Kennedy died early this morning at his
home due to complications from cardiac arrest in December. The
76-year-old Kennedy had not been seen publicly since then; his
retirement was announced last month.
Kennedy took Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church from a congregation
of 45 in 1959 to a megachurch of nearly 10,000 members today.
He organized Capitol Hill Bible studies and other events that
attracted top government officials in Washington.
His radio and TV outreach arm claims a weekly audience of three
and a half million people.
In the 1960s, Kennedy created Evangelism Explosion
International, which trains lay Christians to share their beliefs
in every day life.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years and a daughter.
