November 2, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado - Rev. Ted Haggard, Senior Pastor of New Life Church, stated today that he could "not continue to minister under the cloud created by the accusations made on Denver talk radio this morning." He, therefore, placed himself on administrative leave, pending investigation, spiritual counsel, and a decision by the church's board of overseers. Pastor Haggard said, "I am voluntarily stepping aside from leadership so that the overseer process can be allowed to proceed with integrity. I hope to be able to discuss this matter in more detail at a later date. In the interim, I will seek both spiritual advice and guidance."
Pastor Haggard also resigned today as President of the National Association of Evangelicals."
I don't know if this is another Jimmy Swaggart scenario or not. If so, maybe these guys should wake up to the dangers of obsessing over everyone else's sex life?
