3 Moral Majority

In the US, a right-wing political movement emphasizing traditional moral standards in society and drawing support mainly from fundamentalist Christian groups. Hence more generally (as moral majority), upholders of traditional right-wing social values. So named because it claims to represent a majority of the American people favouring the re-establishment of moral standards.

The Moral Majority movement was founded by Revd Jerry Falwell in Washington DC at the end of the seventies, originally as a 'legislative research foundation' to promote conservative Christian viewpoints.

(1933 - 2007) Фолуэлл, Джерри

Проповедник, христианский евангелист, выступающий с телепрограммой "Трациционный евангельский час" ["The Old-Time Gospel Hour"]. В 1979 основал движение "Моральное большинство" [ Moral Majority], которое поддерживало крайне консервативных политиков. В социальном разделе программы движения содержалась поддержка традиционных семейных ценностей, протесты против абортов [ abortion controversy], против поправки о равных правах женщин [ Equal Rights Amendment], против легализации сексуальных меньшинств. В 1987 ушел с поста президента организации и объявил о прекращении политической деятельности. В 1991 возглавил созданный им Альянс Свободы [Liberty Alliance]
