To: Jonathan Falwell, Vice Chancellor for Spiritual Affairs at Liberty University
Hey Liberty University, Drop Driscoll
How would your founder Jerry Falwell respond to a preacher who taught this in his writing and speaking?
“In conjunction with the rhythm method of birth control, it is possible to use anal sex as an option.”[1]
“Jesus Christ commands you to [perform oral sex on your husband]….What I would say to you as well, ladies, I probably shouldn’t, that most of your husbands wake up in the morning with an erection, and so rather than setting the alarm, if this was the way that you helped to awaken them, they would have a great day. Amen? I’m actually saying these things. Some of you are sitting here going, “Is this happening? Is this really happening?” Yes it is. [Laughter from audience.]...And he says that, “Your vagina is a garden.” It has wonderful smells and it has wonderful tastes. It’s a garden. . . . He talks about how much he loves her vagina. Many women feel awkward about this. The husband needs to tell the wife, “It’s beautiful. It tastes well. It smells well. You keep yourself well. I enjoy it. It’s a garden to me.”[2]
Here’s what one of Jerry Falwell’s peers, well known Pastor John MacArthur had to say about Mark Driscoll’s teaching.
“It is spiritually tantamount to an act of rape” and “Mark Driscoll has boldly led the parade down this carnal path.”[3]
What would the parents of your students say if they saw this?
What would the pastors who refer students to Liberty say?
What would your donors say if they had to read this?
If you say you aren’t worried about that, then for integrity’s sake immediately post these statements on your website. Your students and those who care about their spiritual welfare deserve fair warning about Driscoll’s penchant to sexualize whatever he can, wherever he can.

Failure to Drop Driscoll may result in a public protest on the Liberty University campus.

Why is this important?
Mark Driscoll is a pastor and bestselling author with troubling views on gender roles and sexuality. We in the theraputic community are concerned about the number of people we have seen who have been negatively affected as a result of Mr. Driscoll's teachings.
