Disgraced Haggard: I am a "deceiver and a liar"
In a letter of apology read to the congregation of New Life Church Sunday morning, Ted Haggard confessed to sexual immorality and described himself as "a deceiver and a liar." But in bearing his soul to an outside investigative board, Haggard claimed he is not gay and did not engage in homosexual conduct, the head of the panel said.
They always try to rip the bandage off slowly. | Describing a lifelong battle against temptations that were contrary to his teachings, Haggard wrote in his letter he had sought assistance "in a variety of ways," and while he had stretches of "freedom," nothing proved effective. "There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life," Haggard wrote.
Uhuh. You and Jimmy Swaggart. |
