What’s to say about this…..another hypocritical evangelist. Do as I say, not as I do. They were supposed to have a rally this afternoon, with other evangelical pastors supporting Haggard, but that was cancelled at the last minute and he decided to step down. Hmmmm…….

COLORADO SPRINGS - The Rev. Ted Haggard stepped aside as senior pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church and resigned today as president of the National Association of Evangelicals amid allegations by a former gay male escort that the two had a three-year sexual relationship.
The church issued a statement saying Haggard “could not continue to minister under the cloud created by the accusations made on Denver talk radio this morning.”

Haggard has said that the escort is lying.

The statement said he placed himself on administrative leave pending investigation, spiritual counsel, and a decision by the church’s board of overseers, which consists of four senior pastors of other congregations.
