Ted Haggard is Cured! Praise the Lord, Thank You Jesus!
Well, we knew this was going to happen. (See here and here.)
From the San Francisco Chronicle: Sex scandal pastor says after therapy, he’s heterosexual
Forced by a gay sex scandal to resign as president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Rev. Ted Haggard now feels that after three weeks of intensive counseling, he is “completely heterosexual,” says an overseer of the megachurch Haggard once led.
[…]
His three weeks of counseling, in Phoenix felt like “three years’ worth of analysis and treatment,” but now “Jesus is starting to put me back together,” Haggard wrote in the e-mail message, which was published in the Colorado Springs Gazette on Monday.“I have spent so much time in repentance, brokenness, hurt and sorrow for the things I’ve done and the negative impact my actions have had on others,” he said.
[…]
“He is completely heterosexual,” [Rev. Tim Ralph] told the Post, adding that Haggard’s homosexual activity had not been “a constant thing.”
Here’s the really scary part:
Haggard said in his message to New Life members that he and his wife were taking online courses to get master’s degrees in psychology, and Ralph told the Post that the oversight board had recommended to Haggard that he take up secular work. [emphasis added]
I’d just like to remind readers what kind of person is making these claims (quoted from his original confession):
I am a deceiver and a liar. There’s a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring against it for all of my adult life.
Some things never change.
The war rages on.
