More skeletons come marching out of Ted Haggard’s closet

Associated Press, Disgraced pastor faces more gay sex accusations:

DENVER (AP) – Disgraced evangelical leader Ted Haggard’s former church disclosed Friday that the gay sex scandal that caused his downfall extends to a young male church volunteer who reported having a sexual relationship with Haggard – a revelation that comes as Haggard tries to repair his public image.

Brady Boyd, who succeeded Haggard as senior pastor of the 10,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, told The Associated Press that the man came forward to church officials in late 2006 shortly after a Denver male prostitute claimed to have had a three-year cash-for-sex relationship with Haggard.

Boyd said an “overwhelming pool of evidence” pointed to an “inappropriate, consensual sexual relationship” that “went on for a long period of time … it wasn’t a one-time act.” Boyd said the man was in his early 20s at the time. He said he was certain the man was of legal age when it began.

What a fine example of Christian evangelical fundamentalism this guy continues to be. I used to work with a fundagelical who, back in 2006 when Haggard was first “outed” as a patron of both gay sex and methamphetamine, used to tell me that Haggard’s actions did not “diminish his message”, but that’s another story…
