Talk about mea culpas! Energetic pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs Ted Haggard was separated from that post in 2006 after revelations that he had a relationship with a former male prostitute.
Haggard, who had been a vocal critic of homosexuality and an opponent of gay marriage, also resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals.
Haggard, who denied being gay but admitted to "having issues," went into a three-week intensive counseling program conducted by four clergymen from the megachurch he had founded.
In a letter to his former church, Haggard admitted to sexual immorality and called himself a liar and deceiver. In 2009, haggard admitted to another homosexual relationship with a young church member, who was given a settlement by the church.
