Haggard says sorry for sin
by Pat Ashworth
THE FORMER head of the National Association of Evangelicals, and the founder of a Colorado megachurch, the Revd Ted Haggard, has spoken publicly on the second anniversary of his resignation over allegations of gay sex with a masseur (News, 2 March 2007),. He announced last year that he was “completely heterosexual”, after undergoing three weeks of intense counselling. Mr Haggard gave a sermon at Open Bible Fellowship Church in Illinois, when he apologised to everyone affected. “I’m very, very sorry that I sinned,” he said, describing himself as having been suicidal after the scandal broke. “My wife — all my sin and shame fell on her. People treated her as if she had fallen. And my children — they all went through carrying my shame.” He also revealed that he had been sexually abused by a friend of his father at the age of seven. |
