 PRESS RELEASE

       The West Virginia Baptist Convention along with all Mountaineers are saddened by the passing of Senator Robert C. Byrd. Senator Byrd’s leadership provided the direction of federal funding to develop programs and people in the Mountain State. Robert Byrd’s early year’s in West Virginia included his involvement in the Crab Orchard Baptist Church as he lead a very significant Sunday school class at that church. Senator Byrd, and his wife, Erma, were baptized at the First Baptist Church of Beckley, West Virginia by his pastor, Rev. Smith in 1945. They were baptized in the church because the weather was too cold for an outdoor baptism. Crab Orchard, West Virginia not only nurtured his spiritual life, but his political life as well. Senator Byrd’s simple faith in God and his love of family and service to our nation will be greatly missed. It is our prayer that his family will be comforted and our nation will celebrate his service to humankind.
